Gaya Bay's Guests of Honour

Gaya Bay, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

The choppy waters of Gaya Bay

bustled with boats of different shapes and sizes,

Their engines broke the silence of a new morning

while the rough oars partook

In a race to the island,

where the corals and tiny critters

lived

on a rocky bed of seafloor.


The nudibranch lay camouflaged between those corals and sponges

They inhabited a colony on the seabed

They were remarkably endowed with beauty.


Speed boats raced with passengers on board

Turning the calm blue sea into choppy waters.

Even so, the waters looked untroubled.


The sun is hidden from view

The sea and its wayfarers 

The guests of honour.

Where a solitary seagull flew

amid a soft wind blowing.
