A Blossoming Tree by Ximu Rong
How you would chance upon me
In this most beautiful moment
For this, I have prayed to the heavens for 500 years
Prayed for our earthly fate
The Heavens destined me as a tree
Rooted aside the road of which you will walk
In the sunlight, flowers abloom
Each bloom, the hope of my past lives
As you draw near, listen carefully
Those shivering leaves are the fervor of my anticipation
And as you finally walk passed disregardingly
Behind you there falls...
Friend, those aren't flower petals
It is my withered heart
How you would chance upon me
In this most beautiful moment
For this, I have prayed to the heavens for 500 years
Prayed for our earthly fate
The Heavens destined me as a tree
Rooted aside the road of which you will walk
In the sunlight, flowers abloom
Each bloom, the hope of my past lives
As you draw near, listen carefully
Those shivering leaves are the fervor of my anticipation
And as you finally walk passed disregardingly
Behind you there falls...
Friend, those aren't flower petals
It is my withered heart
i love this poem!
