Translated…
Circling, within the Universe Outside
Along with the Outer Rims of the Outside, of the Outside
The Secret Codes of Stars Twinkling
not my photograph…
Constantly, Being, Rearranged by Time, Being Deciphered
As for the Truth, Still, Hidden, Somewhere, in the Depth of the Universe
The Nirvana We Sought, So Distant, Beyond the Stars, Yet, Very Close, Right Before Our Eyes
Found, in the Smiles of the Full Blooming of the Tung Tree
The Stars that Were, Spread Down onto the Hills
To Repay the Kindness of that Unpolluted Creek and Forest
Keeping, This Patch of Wonderland that Illuminates
a great place ot catch the lights of the fireflies at night…
They Gathered, at the Grassland, by the Forest, by the Creeks
To Hold Their Annual Secret Conference, and Mission Too
They’d Excitedly, Signaled One Another
Fast and Slow, All Over the Places
The Blinking Lights, Working Hard, to Find that Frequency that Connected Just Right
To Decipher the Secrets of the Codes of the Universe
what the fireflies looked like in “bundles”…
The Poems I’d Dreamed of During the Nights All Became Words
Each and Every Word Glowed On
Surrounding Her, the Twinkling Became the Countless Stars in the Skies
And so, Every Single Night, They’d Worked Hard, Compiling Up the Words
But as They Woke, They’d Found
That All that They’d Collected on the Previous Night
Became Scattered Dewdrops All Around Them
So, this, is the life of the firefly then? They work so hard, twinkling, making themselves know, and for what? To ATTRACT a mate so they can pass their genes to the next generation, but, is that all that matters in life, reproducing? An insect’s life, is a WHOLE lot simpler than a human’s life, I’ll give you that!!!
