EVANESCENT BLOOM
Trinh Cong Son
...
In the evanescence
I seek a duo prayer
Resounding thunder rolling
Then i found you
By the primordial spring
I bid you home
Night awash in pure rain
Your presence emanates
Scent of incense in four corners
In the garden, rain stops
Music rejoices
The golden moon fêtes
The epiphyllum blossom
...
Since then, in delirium
I watch on a faraway road
A carriage destined
To the scene of parting
Since then, I lay wounded
Oh mountains and passes,
Faint impermanence rises
With each passing minute
Since then, the flower that is you,
Of a deep rose at dawn,
Blossoms wholly at dusk to
Await the evanescent wind
Since then, you are the mist
That drizzles, fresh at sunrise,
Since then, I am the night
That flourishes into the evanescent bloom.
