《父与子》Father and son
我沿着爱的轮廓
窜起我记忆里你的脸庞
在这即将来临的永恒的离别
可是你也用同样的眼神看着我，说
儿子呀，我知道你也和我一样
从前与你的离别总燃起重逢的希望
O 不是这一次，也不会有下一次
所以我总带着希望你也能记住的微笑
可是你也这样的对着我微笑，说
儿子呀，我知道你也和我一样
你问我，想不想留下来，或许
多一分钟、多一天、多一年
我说，想，真的很想，就像海洋能永远拥抱着河流
你不想我离开，我说
儿子呀，你知道的我也和你一样
I follow the contour of love
to connect the memory of your face
for this coming parting forever
but you look at me in the same way, and say
hey son, I know we have the same feeling too
A goodbye used to be an arising hope
for our next meeting, O no, not this time, and not anymore
So I always smile to you and wish you to remember
but you smile to me in the same way, and say
hey son, I know we have the same feeling too
You ask me if I want to stay a little bit longer, may be
a minute more, a day more, or a year more
I reply, I do, I really do, to be like the ocean forever embracing the river
you do not wish for me to leave, and I say
hey son, you know we have the same feeling too

River of the heart 
Beautiful yet mixed with sadness

Yes, there is a sense of sadness, but there is lots of love too =). Thank you for the kind word.
You are welcome 🙂
This is so beautiful and heart felt! It’s good to read your blog again. Hope you are doing good.
Kind Regards,
-Naima
Glad to hear from you again from the blog, Naima! =) It’s one of the most beautiful journey in life in this blog writing because of some friends still hang around for years. It’s like coming home every time I post something. I hope you are doing well in England. One thing I learn from living in many cities in the World is to take thing easy, and enjoy and appreciate the beauty of differences of people and cultures.
I hear you.. I know the feeling of coming to home; thats how i feel with my blog and long yome readers too. The connection cannot be explained in words.
Kind Regards,
-Naima
So heartfelt!
Thank you Celestine. I remember we have being through the same experience some years ago. Glad to hear from you again.
I love the back and forth of the father’s internal thoughts and how you bring the son into the poem, making two one. Lovely.
Thank you Audrey. The writing is based on last few conversation with my father that I condensed into a short writing. I have this image of conversation in my mind for more than 4 years.
醉了～
一篇读了会醉的有情文字～
不知道是我写的进步了还是 妳的鉴赏能力提高了，不过都是好事，希望都是我们有长进了:)。TGIF!
呵呵～欣赏也同意你的推论～
