《To a Plum Blossom》
What is love?
Standing before you
my question seems to have lost
in the wintry night
You simply exist
in the garden that is
now covered with snow
Don't feel sorry
for the victims of winter
that seems to turn the last
red of autumn into gray
Your color is what I most desire
Your opening is the most assuring
smile of the season
Snow flakes can only decorate
your beauty, and quickly
they melt like cheap tears
I love for the sake of love!
I have searched all my life
for the reason to love
but no one can give me the answer
