July Poem — Remembrance
Author: Cai ChuCherishing the memory of an old tree:
Its roots, dug deep into the earth;
Its leaves, pushing open the dark clouds.
Even if split by thunder,
It still stands upright.
Cherishing the memory of a person:
Who wrote of love with ashes,
Who, upon the sea, turned sorrow
Into an address in the underworld.
Cherishing the memory of a soul:
That has not departed far away,
Rushing toward you like ocean waves,
Standing firm like a reef, shaped into a charter.
Remembrance sprouts new green year after year;
Before remembrance grows into a tree,
I will not forget
To leave the seeds to the world of mortals.
