PHAM MANH VIEN ________________ TO WELCOME YOU, MY LOVE ( Translated by the author ) I throw the wind toward the moonlight, they are flying                     together,           The atmosphere is full of them, my eyes becomes dazzled.           Looking at the moonlight and listening to the wind, I                     feel my soul vibrating,           Then I contemplate the bright clouds floating in the                     quiet sky           Poetry appears, spreading her wings.           In my cup of tea, waves raise a lotus scent.           Happily, I gather wind, moonlight, and clouds                     in a bouquet           To welcome you, my love ... CREATION           A pink sun ... Summer pearls and gems           Overflow the dark calyx of timid buds.           Step by step, flowers star opening.           Tenderly, I lean toward my work           Stamens are full of ferments; and perfumes, of waves.           What music invades the wind?           What dream lights up in my mind?           Raising my hands toward the infinite space,                     I want to embrace it           The sky and the earth get drunk,                     while life becomes rosy. · THE WRITERS POST (ISSN: 1527-5467), the magazine of Literature & Literature-in-translation.
