Five English Poems 

      

        By Jade 

 

 

1

 

If You Feel Lonely

 

 

If you feel lonely

make a tree pose

imagine yourself a rainbow tree 

in a beautiful forest

 

Raise your hands high

so the tree touches the sky

feel energy flow to your feet

fill in any emptiness you experience

 

Leaves chant in the wind 

a thousand eyes wide open

taste raindrops from orchids

hear flowers blooming in the mist

 

The sun glides over dark shadow

shows the world a hundred miles grin

breathe the life around you

who will never be a lonely tree

The United States in the Eyes of Mr. Zhang

                    

 

At the age of twenty five

he went to the Korean War 

as a military medic

braving the hail of bullets

he saved countless comrades

injured by US air bombing 

 

Thirty years later

his only daughter married

a US Air Force Major General

she gave birth to 

two beautiful interracial boys

 

Another thirty years have gone by

he woke up from the emergency room 

in an American hospital

the third time they have saved his life

although they knew 

he had no medical insurance

Birth Cord

  

 

On the day I was born, mom

you took me to the rainbow bridge

unleashed me from the birth cord

watched me swimming away:

have a good earthy life, my little fish!

 

On the day I die, mom

I would meet you again

on the rainbow bridge, in Heaven

reconnected at the birth cord 

I would be a happy fish, side by side

swimming with you, to eternity

 

Heaven or Earth

we are one, always

Magnolia

 

 

I will wait 

while you draw circles and dots 

behind me,with your magic pen 

use up all the colors

till I, all of a sudden

turn around 

blooming in front of you

 

The first 

Magnolia blossom of spring

with thick morning dew

 

 

5

 

Come back to me when you are free

               

 

When your thoughts of me 

float in sips of your morning coffee

you see my smile in rose petals 

and the music you play

come back to me

 

When your hands are free to hug

your heart filled with joy, not guilt

when you can reach for all of me 

in the morning breeze 

come back to me

 

Even if I have to wait for years 

when your hair turns grey,and

your wrinkles of missing me 

written all over your face

I don’t mind, my love

 

I will be your coffee, your music

your rose petals,and

your love will feed mine

come back to me, my love

come back when you are free
