Bauhinia Along the Road

Bauhinia quietly blossoms
 against this season


She is too soft
The season is too hard
She is too young
This season is too old


Her pink face
In the fight against coldness of winter
Her little body
swaying in the exhaust and noise of city


Sunshine she's stored for half a year
In the rest of the half she insists in
exhibiting the most beauty of herself 


No matter dry or rainy days 
No matter winter or autumn 
She has the right to choose when to blossom
and where to wither


 A petal is on the rise
Followed by the fall of a leaf 
Hoping is better than sighing 


After a windy night 
She stands on tiptoe along the road 
like a promising bride
