A BELLE. By LUO FU.

 

             A BELLE

A belle is like water ripples,

still for a moment,

flowing for a while,

as a dragonfly stops

and skims the surface

of water gently

It scratches ripples to shatter.

It dips gently and drifts away.

The drifting duckweed by the side

Looks at the falling waterdrops on the surface,

which is drizzling.

She stops crying while beholding.
