Au fond du coeur

mots et vers cherchés

Je n'ai vu que ton nom

dans les chambres ridées

Je m'interroge

me manquerais-tu?

Ou serait-ce nous d'alors

que j'y avais murés

Looking for words  

to rhyme these verses 

  Only letters of your name

in the creases of my heart  

Question to myself -  

have I missed you so  

Or is it us of that time  

that my heart had tucked away? 

The more I climb
The harder it gets  
I stop to smell the roses
And I have no regrets

Emei Mountain Hermit

Deep path leads into forest

creeks circle around high mountains

fresh breeze, dense rain embrace green bamboos

tilting them, holding in arms

【影照春申】

Translation and notes by 须勤 Xu Qin

大隐小乘

Da yin xiao cheng

春华惜无声

Chun hua xi wu sheng

孤枝何时再重生

Gu zhi he shi zai chong sheng

寒香疏雨满城

Han xiang shu yu man cheng

Spring in Shanghai

Amidst crowds or alone 

Spring blooms in silence 

Awaiting one chance to shine

Cold perfume on wet street.

Notes:

The Chinese term 大隐 (da yin) refers to the practice of "retirement" or "seclusion" in order to lead a peaceful and meditative existence.

小乘 (xiao cheng) refers to the Mahayana Buddhist doctrine that emphasizes individual liberation through personal enlightenment. 

【秦淮风月】

流转沙鸥

Liu zhuan sha ou

青山不知秋

Qing shan bu zhi qiu

淡烟疏雨六朝月

Dan yan shu yu liu chao yue

浊酒孤衾同舟

Zhuo jiu gu qin tong zhou

Qinhuai River's wind and moon

Seagulls gliding

Mountains yellowing

An ancient moon in light smoke

Murky wine, a lone quilt.

Note:

The Qinhuai River (秦淮) flows through Nanjing, which served as the capital city of ancient China during six different dynasties. Today, the river continues to be an important landmark in Nanjing, attracting residents and visitors alike with its beauty and charm.

菊 Chrysanthemum

风起高草

Feng qi gao cao

菊花舞翩间

Ju hua wu pian jian

凝望秋日惬意乐

Ning wang qiu ri qie yi le

清新自然如道

Qing xin zi ran ru dao

Amidst tall grasses

Mums the word this month

Bringing joy to all who witness

Their domain never annoys

若有所思

故乡好似云

一别已有二十载

早是外乡中人

Songes brumeux

Au nuage mon pays

Deux décennies envolées

Errant en sol lointain

Toughts wandering

Homeland veiled in clouds

In a flash, twenty years gone

A soul in foreign land

Traduction par Dany Filion 

Note sur le tableau

Untitled, oil on canvas, 60x40 cm

Copper and steel, 

Ringing dawn to dusk, 

Eagerly precede towers

Built upon childhood dreams.

Note: watercolor by Elisa

Yet the wind goes

But to where, who knows

Still, with time, the seasons change

So too, the dead who age

同窗好友

离别四十载

异乡归来非异客

举杯共庆佳节

Forty years dust

Washed away with wines

From afar, not a stranger 

Holiday with schoolmates

On windy nights

and scattering rain,

drenched and cold, cycling in pain,

still, the city excites.

老巷深门

Lao xiang shen men

人去炊温存

Ren qu chui wen cun

曾经多少秋与春

Ceng jing duo shao qiu yu chun

今宵流连黄昏

Jing xiao liu lian huang hun

Allée profonde

Maison encore tiède

Tant de choses du passé

Dans ce crépusculaire

Deep way, old door

Memory of warmth

So much gone with the seasons

Now wandering at dusk
