the drifting flower plant
by K. C. Jiang
Fremont, California



drifting in the sky
the flowers you are carrying without roots

your destination is to travel thousand miles after thousand miles
no matter how enjoyable the mountains and the lakes you pass through
no matter how beautiful the scenery of the foreign land you stay with

wandering, the song you are singing without sound

oh! the running streams, the running streams
the running streams are like drifting clouds
you want to stop traveling
but you cannot find the a place to rest
