Poems

After Meeting Master

 By Fellow Initiate Ha, San Jose, USA

(Originally in Au Lac Language)

Before meeting You,
Carelessly time passed.
Time went on endlessly.

After meeting You,
Time, like a bouquet of colorful melodies,
At each step it twinkles.
At each drop it sparkles.

Before,
Universal space was so unknown;
Without meaning, empty and untouched.

Now,
Space embraces countless holy beings,
Angels and saints on their flights,
Full of treasures of light and love.

Before,
The green grass road sides were nothing but weeds.
Alive or dead year round unnoticed.

Now,
Grass is a friend, grass has a scent.
How loving and how sweet!

Before,
This worldly life was so complicated.
Anything could become an entanglement.

Now,
Everything is free from darkness.
Everything is peaceful and smooth.
Everything is shining with love and affection.

Creation

Spring,
With the elegance of a dancer,
I greet You.
You lead me,
With graceful movements.
To bring about the splendor of spring.






Summer Day,
With the appearance of a painter,
I encounter You.
On the canvas of my empty heart,
You lightly stroke your colorful brush
And painted a picture of joy like the lotus flowers.

Autumn,
With the mood of a poet,
I converse with You.
In my nearly desolate field of a heart.
You nurture it with beautiful poems.
Through the sounds of mother nature.







Winter Night,
With the grace of a musician,
I envision,
In my tightly strung heart,
You reaching out with jade-like hands
Performing stunning music.





Hence,
Through the changes of the four seasons,
I finally understand,
You
Are Creation Itself.
