Modern Poetry of Tree

tree

Ai Qing

A tree, a tree

Stand apart from each other

Wind and air

Tell them the distance

But under the cover of soil,

Their roots have been elongated.

In the unseen depths

They tangled their roots together.

Flowering tree

Xi Murong

How to let you meet me

In my most beautiful moment

For this? I prayed in front of the Buddha for 500 years.

Begging for it makes us have a dusty relationship.

Then the Buddha turned me into a tree.

Follow the path you may take.

In the blooming flowers, I wait in the sun.

Every flower carries my previous hopes.

When you get close,

Listen carefully

Trembling leaves are the passion I am waiting for.

You finally walked past without paying attention.

On the ground behind you

Friend, that's not a petal.

It is my withered heart
