Farewell to April

Photo by 二月兰(www.lovingsister.com)

I hope
you are not surprised to read
The Odyssey I sent to you,
from this stranger you have never met
who just by chance read… your poems.

See the slipper orchids
blooming beside someone’s glass window…
I want to tell you –
we are passersby on parted journeys,
and you might sigh:
oh, they are beckoning a dancer. ..
yet soon they will fade in winds.

But let me assure you –
since then they have danced in my heart.
