Isolation
Nguyen Thac Bach

Out of pain, out of misery
Found myself here wandering in mist
Far from envy, far from greed
Found my feet cross over silent leaves.
Imprisoned clouds in frozen sky
Looking down the squirming trees
Beside my way they mourned in silence
Losing all their sap, losing all their yearnings…

I stepped by the crying brook
Listen to birds’ song in the whispering breeze
Like the vain demon before a white rose, I saw her
She was sitting, under the sighing oak
Long black hair slowly streaming in the air
Limpid eyes looked into nowhere
She began to sing, with her charmful voice
How long had I been there, I didn’t care…

So fell autumn rain
Would it wash away my sorrow
Or just falling down with tears on my face?
How long had I been there, I didn’t care…
Her melody just like a flowing stream
Flowing flowing from hers, to my soul
Not the rain but her elegant piano
Took away my past worn memory
Lead me into a peaceful sleep…

Opened my eyes to the bright sunshine
No one there, she had gone with the rain
Am I like them, too stained to follow her?
Last autumn leaf faded away
Though blowing winds had stopped
Trying to find my consciousness
Lonely there, I stood
With sombre eyes to the sky...
