TRAN YEN THAO _____________________________________ THE
WHITE CLOUDY ROAD 1 In the early morn, I
ask a white cloudy road. Endlessly where has
the white cloud been afloat? The youth asked the
white hair’s way. Bamboo-cane makes
the brown flap throw away 2 Over the brush
woods, the former country is the forest
That all’s
out-of-the-way in the sunset while seeking after
me. I came back to the old land, Let time forget a
strange visitor in the mirror’s silhouette. 3 At half way, the
load of faithful love broke. Who returned to the
dust, who was in the fog? Coldly I put on
cloak of tutor Since eternity, I’ve
felt ruinous. 4 When waking, the
roses haven’t been gorgeous yet and nobody yet
passed by track. The path is still
very far to the mountain. I return home and get the old fragrance. TRAN YEN THAO The Writers Post &
