Modern Poetry: Holland

Lotus

Text/Jingshuanglan (Henan)

Feeling the stones is like a lotus crossing the river

The shore. Retreating farther and farther

He felt inexplicably heartbroken

The frogs croaked, telling her the secret of water

He spent his whole life chasing summer. But summer

swallows her up with dusk

and spits her out with dawn

Lotus.

Only forgetting myself

Summer itself is in her swaying beauty

Autumn is here! The raindrops hit the lotus leaves and learned to choke

He woke up with the choking sound all night long

Because she knew that the love she wanted

The more It's getting farther and farther

The shore where I want to salvage her is getting closer and closer

A small boat sails into sight
