A girl
By Rose Lu
Translation By Richard Tornello
This girl made a garland of roses,
and you were her sunlight,
the sunlight that bathed the roses in a rainbow of kisses.
And then, you left.
You left her to dream.
In time,
that girl refused other rainbows.
In time,
hoping for those sunlight kisses
In time,
longing and loving silently
she knelt before the Buddha,
a garland of roses,
her offering,
her prayer.
1st Draft:
THIS girl made a garland of roses.
And you were the sunlight
the sunlight that bathed the roses in a rainbow of kisses.
And then you left
you left this girl to dream.
In, time.
That girl refused other rainbows
hoping for those sunlight kisses;
longingly and loving silently.
She knelt before the Buddha
a garland of roses, her offering
her prayer. |
