Abrupt – a sudden sweeping;

Disrupting West Lake’s vast serenity.

 

Erupt – an undulation;

Crescents and slight waves conduct the cityscape.

 

Via high vantage, the rains bring peace.

As for ancient-modern city streets,

Flooding fails to cease,

Only slow the chaos of life.

 

Ashen achromatic clouds cradle the relief of green –

Of brown, of branches, of bark - of life.

 

Flamboyant Fabaceae, Hoa Phương flowers, torn –

Fall for the seasons’

Unstoppable renewal, for which nature is grateful.
