Poetry Road

Poetry road

is a new path,

The traffic

from you to me.

Along the road

there are larks singing.

In the air

there are swallows flying.

Among the forests

there are orchids blooming.

What strange enough is

the fig,

its fruits directly growing

on the trunk,

without passing the flowering stage.

Ah, that is the poetry!

On the road

I find

Love.

….

(Self-translation from Mandarin)
