Vu Lan season remember mother

There are many poems written about parents, especially mothers. In them, each author conveys the child's feelings for his or her parents.

Author Trinh Bich Ngan remembers her deceased mother, but it seems that her mother is still alive thanks to the invisible wave of blood love connecting the two worlds of life and death: Even though parents/ are on the other side of the sky/ separated/ the waves of life and death/ still beat rhythmically/ with love. Author Le Thieu Nhon remembers his mother as the door of a house that never closes to wait for her child to return, the warmest and safest place: That door withstands all the uncertainties/ Because it has a mother's heart as the final barrier.

The seventh lunar month of each year is also the Vu Lan season for children to show their gratitude. SGGP newspaper introduces the poem " Waves of Yin and Yang " by author Trinh Bich Ngan and "The Door That Doesn't Close " by Le Thieu Nhon.

Yin and Yang Waves

First Birthday

no mother in the world

I am alone

sit and cry

***

Drop drop

orphaned

quietly

heart wrenching

***

In front of me

steaming cup of cappuccino

sedum flower blooming

Xuan Huong Lake's surface is breathing

church in the cold fog bells

***

Life span

and age

sea ​​waves

bustling dawn

rolling sunset

***

Even though parents

the other side of the sky

distance

yin and yang waves

still beating

love

---

The door is not closed

I return to that door

Through many stormy seasons the wind goes away

The door is never closed

Like a mother's heart opens every day

***

I keep dreaming of the shores

When life bullies you

Back behind that door

***

And I slept soundly.

And I dream so peacefully

That door protects against all misfortunes and uncertainties.

Because there is a mother's heart as the final barrier.
