The dragon's lair

A personal collection of verse

Daisy

Chen Min-hwa


What's so sad about it?
You could have held your head high and stood tall
Under the all-embracing blue sky.

In this vast world,
You also have a small piece of heaven and earth
In the breeze, rain and dew, the branches and leaves stretch out as they wish.

The small flowers bloom like lotus seeds
Round and pure white, beautiful and full,
When the flowers wither, autumn has already passed.

What is there to be sad about?
The sun is so kind, it moistens the mud with deep affection
Although it has not produced mature fruits
But you have the roots to expand the universe.
