Moon And Breeze

There's still moon and breeze, breeze and moon

🌙🍃☁️ There’s still moon and breeze, breeze and moon, Worry not that youth ends too soon. If the sky turns and looks one day, Who’s lived more, it will convey. For all things, Heaven holds the sway. // 尚余风月,风月尚余, 莫忧青春不复回。 苍天终有一日回首, 便知谁历过更深。 须知万般皆由天定。 Shàng yú fēng yuè, fēng yuè shàng yú, Mò yōu qīngchūn bù … Read more

Lack Of Confidants

Don't worry about the lack of confidants in the road ahead

🤗🛣️🤔 Don’t worry about the lack of confidants in the road ahead, And that no one in the world knows you. // 莫愁前路无知己, 天下谁人不识君。 Mò chóu qián lù wú zhī jǐ, Tiān xià shéi rén bù shí jūn. // Mạc sầu tiền lộ vô tri kỷ, Thiên hạ thùy nhân bất thức quân. // Chớ … Read more

Summer Meditation

Sitting quietly through long summer days

[I’d rather be sitting here / Cũng là ngồi, nhưng muốn ngồi ở đây] ⛱️🌞🧘‍♂️ Sitting quietly through long summer days, No words spoken in all my ways. What am I doing, you might ask? Just enjoying peace, no task to unmask. // 長夏此靜坐, 終日無一言。 問君何所為? 無事心自閑。 Zhǎng xià cǐ jìngzuò, Zhōngrì wú yī yán. … Read more

Meditation

Sun and moon flow like the river's flight

[Cũng là ngồi, nhưng muốn ngồi ở đây / I’d rather be sitting here] 🌞🌛🗻 Sun and moon flow like the river’s flight, Time’s spark strikes stone, a fleeting light. Let earth and heaven shift their place, Atop my cliff, I sit with grace. // 日月如逝川, 光陰石中火。 任你天地移, 我暢岩中坐。 Rì yuè rú shì chuān, Guāngyīn … Read more

Sitting Alone

Sitting alone, mind often strays

[I’d rather be sitting here / Cũng là ngồi, nhưng muốn ngồi ở đây] 🏞️🌬️🍃 Sitting alone, mind often strays, Emotions linger, thoughts in a daze. Clouds enshroud the mountain’s base, Wind howls through the valley’s space. // 独坐常忽忽, 情怀何悠悠。 山腰云缦缦, 谷口风飕飕。 Dú zuò cháng hūhū, Qínghuái hé yōuyōu. Shānyāo yún màn màn, Gǔkǒu fēng … Read more

World Poetry Day

Twelve moons a year, unhurried I roam, In peaceful times—how blessed to be human. Thirty-six thousand dawns I freely roam, To realms eternal, tracing life’s true omen. Let fools call me a wandering fool, I’ll play the fool with joy unbroken. // Thong thả một năm mười hai tháng, gặp thời bình trị được làm … Read more

Spring Sentiments

I know that spring is good, What's the most worrying thing?

🌸😔 I know that spring is good, What’s the most worrying thing? // 绝知春意好, 最奈客愁何? Jué zhīchūn yì hǎo, Zuì nài kè chóu hé? // [Mùng 5 Tết Canh Tý] Tuyệt tri xuân ý hảo, Tối nại khách sầu hà? // Ý xuân luôn trọn đẹp, Lòng khách sao lại buồn ? ​​​

Spring Again

That spring has gone, a new spring has arrived.

[Mùng 4 Tết Canh Tý] That spring departs, another returns, this year, last year, which spring was richer or bare? Old guests come in, new faces arrive, last year, this year, was it emptier, or full beyond compare? // Xuân ấy đi, xuân khác về, năm nay năm ngoái xuân hơn kém? Khách quen vào, … Read more
