Some day, I’ll return to the Ganges River.

Will the speck of sand that I lay on be in the riverbed?

Or will it enter the vast desert,

and end up lying under the cactus tree.

Some night,  the mindless wind passing by,

will blow it to the abyss on the other side.

And then one day, it’ll return to the sea-becoming-mulberry field.

And forget the common human life’s pains and ills.  

Let me be a speck of dust on  the Tầm Dương River shore.

To listen to the enchanted, heart-touching music that I adore.

Which realm under the heavens still keep the true feelings of the heart

when the drifting clouds are like ephemeral human thoughts.

One day, I’ll return to earthly paradise.

Reincarnated, happy to see each other, but surprised.

By the rivershore, a bush of grass reeds,

silver white like water flowing under the bridge.

Let us return to live in harmony with Nature.

Night’s getting late. My Dear, pleasant dreams and have a peaceful slumber.
