REMEMBERANCE SACRIFICE
(A poem of natural wisdom)
1
A burst of warm breeze
gently brushes
the monument of
remembrance
glorious achievements in history
Misty light rain
drizzling endlessly, passionately yearning
reverence
Days and nights passing as waves
how much flesh and bones of heroes
wore away
Splendid
Spirit
glowing
on the monument
Invite the upcoming generations
to inherit
develop
In every minute
remember
2
When the heart of the river
is dried
Looking up
the monument
The melody of ocean’s
selfless spirit
will play
When the heart of the sky
is frozen
Looking up
the monument
The warmth of sunshine’s
spirit of great love
will bathe
When the heart of the oasis
is withering
Looking up
the monument
The liveliness of Spring rain’s
spirit of sacrifice
will embrace
When the direction of the heart
is lost
Looking up
the monument
The radiance of North star’s
spirit of enlightening-truth
will guide
When the heart of erroneous thoughts
is rampant
Looking up
the monument
The acceptance of
earth’s spirit of good-approaching
will spread
When the heart of the sights
is vain
Looking up
the monument
The brightness of
dynamic flowers’ spirit of beauty-pursuing
will be splendid

Monument
Monument
Hundreds and thousands of years
wind and rain
Hundreds and thousands of years
memories
The hearts of humankinds
are calling
Calling
the spirits:
enlightening-truth
approaching-good
pursuing-beauty
Calling
the spirits:
selflessness
great love
sacrifice
Calling
to dive freely
in the ocean of poetic life
Calling
to spread wings
in the sky of poetic life
