"The Pirate Kings of Old Cathay."

"I have bided my time. How long now have I followed the path of destiny. "where to walk" one would say. I close my eyes and know that within the darkness is a survival, the knowledge I think that is a part of me never forgets. that even before the first sunrise of this planet..I had even then...been myself.

I know this because I know myself and my nature. one day long ago I realized that if I could have one wish. I would wish to never be alone in my heart..but I am afraid..afraid that I may never find a Love that will Love me the same.

in my madness and delirium..it was a voice..as clear as day. which said simply as I will now say. "there are some whose destiny is to wander their whole lives." I have seen much..in the tempest that is my Life..the bustling streets of Hong Kong...the moped ridden streets of Saigon...I have witnessed the rising of the Mekong river...."
