‘Poetry written in the sea’ by Le Minh Chanh brings thoughts before the vast sky and sea, the brief nothingness of human life.
The bird leaves footprints in the sand
Carefree waves erase The bird sends a song to the blue sky The wind brings into nothingness *** I’m noisy, sad, happy, sea biển Silently know who to send I haven’t cried yet, it’s already salty I’m not happy that the waves have melted *** The wind caressed the long silky hair Blue beach with love sign Blurry mountains look silver sea Clouds fly over the waves of thousands of years *** Looking for the footprints of the past The sea lullabies a white lullaby I met me in a frozen seashell Oh dear heaven and earth… Comments The general feeling of the poem is the nothingness, the dissolution of all things into the immense heaven and earth. Footprints in the sand, the song of the blue sky, the sign of love, happiness or sadness, noise or silence, like a wild song on the white tide. The perception of brevity and nothingness evokes in us thoughts of existence. Perhaps, standing in front of the blue mountains and the silver sea, one can see most clearly the smallness of human life. Where do we cry but the sea is already salty? Where am I happy that the waves have melted? Meeting yourself in a watery shell is a very suggestive image. That small heart contains the immensity of heaven and earth. Maybe it’s a consolation. On the journey to find traces of existence, the heart of the seashell shines into the sky and the shape of the sea, the blue shore, the yellow beach and the blue mountains. Does anyone hear, a sigh before nothingness!
