How long can I carry the fragrances
Of varied flowers like a breeze which
Has no essence of its own?
How long can I shine like the earth which
Depends on the light of the Sun and Moon?
I am tired of repeating the words
Written and spoken again and again!
~*~
I can not play this ancient lyre with its
Broken strings in the gloominess of night.
I can not sit idle on a sea shore
I can not build castles of sand or air
I will catch a piece of the wind, and
Sculpture it into a storm to blow it off!
~*~
My darling Night, bring me a platter of stars
I will munch them and rend the sky to release
An ocean of dreams of pacific from its depths.
O Dawn, these dreams are my seeds
You can sow them in the womb of earth
So that a race of new trees of light
Shall take birth for blooming star-flowers
And brilliant fruits of light on the earth!
