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.

雏菊

有什么可悲的呢
你本可以挺起胸膛,昂立于
无所不容的蓝天之下

在此广阔的世界
你也拥有一小片天地
清风雨露里,枝叶如意舒展

开出朵朵小花如莲心
圆而纯白,美而丰盈
当众花枯瘦,秋已飘零

有什么可悲哀呢
阳光如此博爱,润泥情深
虽然没结下成熟的果实
但你却有扩展宇宙的根
