LE COIN DES POETES<br />

THE CIRCLE<br />

Whisper to the clouds, crying in the rain<br />

Blowing in the wind, try to ease my pain<br />

I like to watch the autumn leaves dancing<br />

Before the distant lazy river now appearing<br />

Have we ever paused and wondered<br />

How far in the journey we have covered<br />

Why always consumed and seething with anger?<br />

Let it go…and let the good old memories take over<br />

Yes, the end of the tunnel is near<br />

There should be no more fear<br />

Nor suffering nor sickness,<br />

Just one big emptiness<br />

I’ll call upon the sun, the moon and the stars<br />

To witness the resurrection of my heart<br />

The new rhythms and the glorious coronation<br />

Leaving behind the sad old load of lucubration<br />

Tu thân, tề gia,<br />

I don’t even know where I am at<br />

Trị. quốc, bình thiên hạ<br />

Now it is too late at sunset<br />

Tu tâm dưỡng tính<br />

I am still practicing<br />

Tu thân tích đức<br />

That is always worth living<br />

How many more Falls do we get?<br />

Before the sun is reaching west<br />

To sing, praise and celebrate<br />

With love I wish I am inundated<br />

We used to be a wholesome bunch<br />

Shy, warm, proud but inexperienced<br />

The war and time had scarred our souls<br />

Now stubborn, quarrelsome and cold<br />

Lawrence TÂN JJR 69<br />

I was told that all good time will come to an end<br />

My time with you, so soon, already run into a bend<br />

I am forever proud to have you all<br />

To be part of my life, my childhood, standing tall<br />

As I travel the rest of my way<br />

No need to cry over the good old days<br />

For I know at the end of this journey<br />

I’ll be right at the beginning of my story<br />
