Seeing You

Let me catch sight of you in this life and in others, where your face hovers in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, when your black eyes twinkle along the curved words I have found again in this life. Let me catch sight of you in the morning, noon, afternoon and evening, for I shall hear your laughter along the sidewalks and around the morning markets, feel your hair’s fragrance once, and never stray away from you again. Let me see you appear calmly and brightly in every thought, in every short breath, in every long breath, and in every pulse of my heart – intrinsically, calmly and brightly. By Phan Tan Hai
