SHY LIKE A MIMOSA

The bending trails leisurely cheat the wind blowing cool

Fluffy grass woven carpet densely

How fortunate, Fight for the rights unearthed head secretly

Under the shadow, that glamorous can’t hide

People do not understand the heart should never

Freeze of that etiquette

Not too many excuses, always looked down in silence

Although with a covered body of thorns

Listen to that sound exclaimed, mimosa, mimosa

Tease the curious pink flowers

Audible, Laughter-induced

My-Little could it be that do not take my dominant gene

Mouth wide open willful, Cater to the spring

Smiling,

Maybe she was laughing at her mother's shyness

Maybe she just could not hide her own beauty

Maybe have to leave the shade

Under the sun, to find

Indulge in a dialogue with the wind

When she was so proud

Too beautiful to abandon herself

In the bottom of my heart, how reconciled

Delivered my daughter to that gust

Mother's heart soft cascaded like water

Hand stays high up to the sky

so that all people can see my daughter wore pink dress

Dancing with the wind, Abnormal elegant

Note: Mimosa, shy of nature, when be touched, always bow in silence, but, endowed with natural beauty too hard to hide.

 

JUNE LONGAN

Apart from the edge of the home tea garden

Under the old Longan tree

Where to find the wind

More refreshing

June broiling, those not yet ripe Longan with white core

Reminds, mother, me think of

You

In particular, the wind was so

Slow and warm

Apart from the edge of the home tea garden

Under the old Longan tree

Scenes of the past figure, waiting for me to recall

Rare so clearly, make eyes gently closed

June broiling, those not yet ripe Longan with white core

Reminds, father, me think of

You

In particular, the wind was so

Buoyant and circling

A pot of spring tea

Hanging on the backyard tree

Old little chair

Two pairs of eyes, wrinkled skin

Stare each other

Common thought brings up to mind

When you were a kid

A long way to go to school

The pair of barefoot, the spindly legs

Nowadays, across the oceans

Struggle in a foreign country

Really makes parents had to think back

You

Like a ripe Longan with black core

Full, A mouthful of sweet

Especially, the wind was so

Slight

 

THE SECRETS OF GINGERLILY

Lush summer, there is always a bunch of Gingerlily

Appear in the mother's room

She looked at it with a smile but teared quietly

Young, so I do not know why

A secret sleeping for fifty years

Like that one dumb gourd

Excited to come to Huashan, Chase the inner doubts

Expected on return trip

Pragmatic footsteps

Satisfied with peace of mind

The southerly winds whirring

Whirring, whirring and whirring

Facing the mountain full of white flowers

Fog can’t hide

Mother's song when she was a little girl

Sound so fine

Sentimental hesitated

Yes

At that time she was a little girl

Lively dance with a childlike

Suddenly realized

All the Gingerlily on the roadside

Had received mother's caress

All the Gingerlily on the roadside

So miss mother

There is always a meandering path leading to the house

Little girl

How many times

Through these white Gingerlily

Old house has disappeared without a trace

Take away the mother's family how much affection

When night gradually weight

Urged

That stranger returned to my original quiet

It is time to leave

Inside the heart silently cry

My dearest mother

Landscape is still no change

Your love for me is full

Rest in this beautiful valley of Gingerlily

Do not let me take anything

Apart from the last nostalgia and

And

That full of spring breeze call

Whirring, whirring and whirring

 

PINK CLOUDS LOVE GO HAND IN HAND

Sunset leads dusk. In the small alley

All turned into long oblique shadows

We get rely on so close

Do not try to eavesdrop on, the road with the pink clouds

Fireflies seem so mysterious under the shade

Bypassing the backyard, Magnoli higher than the wall

Aroma of the flowers hastily proclaim the advent of night

Our two-hand more tightly

Let the little yellow mud road, only suit to walk slowly

The memories still fresh laughs loudly and scared

Maniac informal bouncing and vivacious still in sight

Watching you, Awoke

This winding road, with over thirty years of effort

Day by day, Step by step

Was printed on yellow mud, how many pebbles

Near the thin soil, Oxalis flower still sneaking around

What happened?

When your hair black and white mixed but so clear?

Gently stroking, hanging forehead hair

Both distressed and pleased

Fortunately your eyebrows did not follow into white

Small ditches less than half a foot

At the bottom of the path

Missed my footing, How you get giggled so mischievous

Just Like you were in youth

Implying, Pink clouds deliberately teasing the memory box

In the past, Maniac uninhibited dance

Now you and I both need a hand gently hold

Return on, The Magnolia also sneaking around waiting

Silence like a fairy

Pick them off one, hanging on your hair

You finally shy in silence

But more than this floral scent

To be able to stop the night

To take you away from quietly

Please moon to illuminate the path home

But

I can’t find the slightest drowsiness
