Enjoy a Joyful Life

Emotions are high in the heart

Future thoughts are exiting   

Even possibility for danger

Hidden crude act is hiding

It can add to big trick or treat.

Beware of new threats of a time

I cooperated with the wisdom

I collect own thought of a thing

All of these cannot be parallel

Something is unknown,

Someplace is unknown

Somebody is unknown

At present just see and hear

Without touch and taste

Make sure breath in feeling

Greatest of the great

Smallest of the small

Is your on self-respect

And self-balance is

the self-management

Lost Day

Don’t report the day
Don’t loose a day
The day is today
A day is a day
Today is last

Last day

Each session there is a last day
Each month there is a last say
Each week there is a last day
Each year there is a last day
Each life has the last day
I am alive in the presant.

A Learner

If he or she can't be feel and imagine
And act a role of a character of a play

An Artist

A photograph can be copied

But it can’t grasp it essence

Person may not be an artist

with a future imagination,

which makes an artist.

Wonderful Feeling

I heard a pouring rain

Over the growing crops

Then not able to work

That was wonderful feel

I Come Home

I heard the ringing bell

I worked on the land

Till the sun goes down

and when the cow came home

No more Problem

I heard no more complains

When I earned some more

Till the moon appeared

Then I go to sound sleep

When I don't Study

I heard the reading call

I was talking to someone

No mercy needed for me
When I don’t study. 

Jewel

I have built a high wall
around me
But there is a hole in it
Where a lovely jewel shines

Found

I close my eyes to hear
My heart bites 
Oh! I found you

Lonely

I can’t close my eyes
On the lonely night
So I wrote a poem

Motions

Butterflies are flying in my heart
Oh, my friend; one of them
Is left for you

Plead

Please open your eyes and ears on your own
to see loveliness and hear loving words.

Smell the rose, feel the cooling air
and taste the healthy warm food in
our wonderful world of innocence

Time of Threat

Be aware of circumstance

Recognize the personality

To stay alert to consider

Extreme patience required 

Yours truly, don't wander

You needed to see inward 

Real need is to move out

You needed to inner voice

Look at sight

Book the flight

you got a light 

No more fight 

Sisterly Love

I find you, truly a full of energy
your understanding is amazing
you accept me, I as you see me

Oh! You let me walk and think!
When you write the true story
Then you anticipate a poem
I love you, dearly and Sisterly

Brotherly Love

I’m yours; I’m not lost? Sincerely
No Independence, but I am a free
Am I? Lost as lighting in the sky
May be I am lost like a little boy

You love me, dear! Brotherly

If you are coming

If you are coming in autumn don't fail

We'll dance until the morning

If I see you for one day in a year

I will be singing for you my dear

If you can hear me have dry eyes

We'll welcome the moonlight in song

If you come to walk and talk with me

We'll live in the present together

If I can stop one’s cry !

If I can stop one’s cry

If I can stop someone from arguing

By assisting them to understand why

That will stop breaking my heart.

Then I didn’t spend my weeks in vain.

If I can heal one body from aching

By assisting to manage it’s pain

That will stop my hurting brain.

Then I didn’t spend my months in vain.

If I can make someone laugh
B y my simple humorous speech

That stops someone from violent.

Then I didn’t spend my years in vain.

We wander!

We wandered friendly as clouds,
That floats on high above the hills,
At once I saw a writing crowd,
We join with them for a lovely writing
It was on a river, beneath the trees,
We read and write with the breeze.

Once we are the stars on stage,
There we had twinkle in our eyes,
we dance with full of an energy
that really crated romance synergy
we touched few hearts at a glance,
they tossed their heads and laugh.
I was singing them love song
They cry out their hearts and shy
some sing along when we sing
Some could not cry but just bowed
I reached and touched their hearts
She smiled and touched, I loved

It was worth that a wealth of world
She brought: love along in my life
when I touched and sooth, she shy
what a healthy romance at once
 
We flashed our temptations in a trance
which brings a blissful joy of solitude;
We felt the most useful generosity
We are grateful for grace of Almighty    

I wonder

From childhood I have wondered,

Is it "I" who is wondering?

Why was I born alone?

Was it a blunder?

Or did it just happen!

Am I alone among all?

Let me recall or call whom?

My hollow thoughts

Give me sorrow.

Will I go alone?

Love is blind,

And reality is rude.

I should go alone,

and get along.

Is it true?
 

Inquisitor

Does the Sun turns drown on light

Or the rain-drop bring out a warm

Or just the worm of the Earth does it.

Does the Sun heat melt clouds?

Or the Ocean heats make clouds

                            

Does the Wind blow the snow clouds?

Or an Airplane breaks the snow clouds

Am I Dreaming?

When open my closed eyes 

I hear soothing song of music 

The ground smells so good

That make me feel wealthy.

When I sleep

I heard a singing canary

In the early spring morning

No mercy needed for me

Just silence when I sleep

No Drink, Thanks

I can drink lukewarm water
And I've never had a drop of tea
nor any liquor or liquor-laced drinks
need to keep my mind clear.

I get irritated by the sight of a bottle
And I feel anger rising

Which I don’t understand
I need to keep mind clear

I need to keep my mind clear
When they say, "Taste it just once,"
I say, "Why waste it for the bunch?"
But I never boast or got lost
I need to keep my mind clear.

What a Life

I can live

with bread and butter alone

no wine or vulgarity

just curiosity and equality

I can’t live

without reading and writing

being TV or movie junky

just walking and talking

I can live

with innocence and truth

no lying and buying

 just listening and learning

I can’t live

in a hotel or motel

without friends and folks

just earning and burning

I can live

With integrity and honesty

no ego and  jealousy

just sympathy and empathy

Am I Alive?

I failed for someone’s lie,
I questioned, why?
When truth came out,

She was shy away

Some one answered, “She lied”
"She had feared” I thought
It was a truth of a game
She can’t go way

We never walked holding hands
because she was holding her head
When Moon covered by clouds,
She went away

No name signed appear on the ground
No game of a shame was in this round
No lie to seal or deal and laying around
No one die and  no shy of cry to bound  

Humanity

Society need silence
Mobility need license

Quantity is accounted
Quality is mounted

Generosity provides food
Humanity insures good

Simplicity

Philosophy is permanency

Celebration show success
Calibration show access 

Welcome Harmony

I said, Good Bye; to my confusion

No illusion, about my healthy body  

I have no doubt to for the delusion 
No distraction of my wealthy memory

Now, I sit care free without sensation

No depression in my smooth harmony  

告别以往的混乱，

身心康健不幻想。

既不被假象蒙蔽，

头脑也不去乱想。

如今我无忧无虑，

自我谐和意志强。

Translated by San Du on Nov.6th 2012

 

Good Bye, Nasty Cold

Good Bye, nasty cold and cough

Welcome, my dear fresh breathe

I said, I don’t need you sticky cold

You told me, “I am getting so old”

Good Bye, you old tricky cough

Now I can walk and talk enough 

Thinking

Have a love and respect, 
so no fear of the unknowns.

Bless you to expect nothing, 
so never get disappointed. 

Solitude invites joy of life
and bliss brings serenity

Feeling

I write best when 
I feel my thought.
 
I have vision
It inspire to act.

I don't fight to live 
but have joy for life.

Smiles make life easy
but purity calm my soul.

At Last Came Halloween

At last it came over the families

The clouds containing thunder

Lighting up the dark sky

Raining like dogs and cats

Flooding creeks and streets

Children were trick-or-treating

In the thunder and rain

Parents protecting them

People treating them

In the spirit of a wild Halloween

Me

I
Gentle human
Learning to sustain the living
I assist who needs
Me

I may be at Junctions

Was I at a crossroad of wellness?

No doubt, no duality and no judgment
I received an understanding of silence
and enhance the sanity of the saintly
it cleared mind and solidified calmness
that was my function of this junction.

Now there is no undergrowth

And there will be no overgrowth

The planted seed has room to grow

My inner and outer self are calm,
Now thought and behavior match
The friction of an assumption is gone
No more am I out of place here or there.

I will never be at the crossroad of numbness

I Have No doubts

I was at a crossroad of calmness

He was there to assist me to cross

I was delighted to get assistance

But I was not ready to converse

Because he had an intention to take

It was an irrational path of conversion.
A thought was to let him have his way
It will clear itself a different way

Was I at a crossroad of readiness?
I was not ready to burst forth with laughter
And lose my vision of a holy session
I kept my fine reason to myself.
He began walking away to the side
It was enough to choose a fine way

A Time to Learn

A first generation immigrant in America

Awoke one day to realize a need to contribute

So he chose to present his thought to a mentor

And joined a senior writing group in a small town

He expressed his thoughts in broken English phrases

They sounded like preaching but he wasn't a preacher

He asked why his writing sounded like a sermon

But his mentor said to write what you observe

Added not to worry about comments just write

It was encouraging so he kept on writing

He moved away but kept going to the writing group

Then in summer he found another senior group

That met every week two miles from his new home

He walked there to read his writing but confused them

With his English and they asked him to take an ESL class

He went to the community education program

And the supervisor tested his knowledge of English

Then quickly placed him in the advanced class

The teacher said his skill of writing was good

And volunteered to help him in spelling and grammar

He took a chance to relearn English

And took the time to write this piece as a challenge

Are You Puzzled, Dear

You are here to help me, dear

Word usage can surprise

Your foreign accent is good

It can be beneficial, dear 

You treasure our heritage, dear

It is pure ancient love

You are priceless, dear

You are spark of nobleness

You have fame and fortune

I am puzzled, my dear
