A New Embryo In the Western Galaxy
Saigon, an embryo, hidden in the womb of a galaxy,
Longs to emerge into the galaxy and blaze like a star.
Winding arteries dazzle, crimson joy,
Straight veins scintillate, a turquoise river.
A fetus, whose father and mother buried in sour blood,
Will soon sing the anthem of his beloved parents.
Saigon, a new born child, in a new Vietnam,
Blossoms once again after many dark winters.
Wars after wars, the sun in a long hibernation,
For the first time, flourishes in blazing orange.
Bees and butterflies dance the Tango,
And fireflies and comets light up the sad Milky Way.
Saigon, a new city, blessed with wonders,
Now, shines again like a star.
His spirit sways in blissful melodies,
And his new birthmark, forever, imprinted on each of his subburb.
Saigon, the yesterday child of Vietnam,
Soon, to be the future prince of an Asian kingdom.
