I Remember
I Remember
a poem by Hal Jin
I still remember the time
When trees shone in the afternoon light,
Shining through the clouds above,
And the glorious dawn awakening the great river,
The transparent water, the stones,
Reflecting the sunlight.
I still remember the blue sky,
A blue like the deep ocean,
That seemed to wake the living creatures,
And invite them to come
Out of their cozy little homes
To enjoy the warmth of the new day.
I still remember the green of grass,
Swaying in the gentle breeze,
Dancing in the light,
Tempting you to forget
All your tears,
Your worries and fears.
