Noon in the Garden of Diem Phung Thi Sculptures - Poem by Nguyen Nha Tien

Taking refuge in the shade of Hue, The noon is quiet, the garden is deserted, I wonder where the voice from the sea comes from. Just a silent call, but it stirs my echo.

On this mystical mist I see

Kawabata's Footprints

Which Japanese moon is like the moon back home?

The bright light of the heart sweeps away the cold snow

pure soul through many distant homelands
