Life Is Like A Yellow Leaf Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

Life Is Like A Yellow Leaf

Rating: 4.7


Yellow leaves have turned brown.
My horse-neck driveway is now covered by many brown leaves.
Time passed quickly like a horse galloped over a bridge!
Yesterday, leaves began dropping, this morning branches are bare!
Breeze flows very gently, and randomly
Leaves roll, leaves stop with no preference, no attachment.
Suddenly I feel worried inside
How much time is left for the yellow leaf of my life?

Above is translation poem of NHIEN NGUYEN MD:

ĐỜI NHƯ LÁ VÀNG

Lá vàng đã đổi mầu nâu.
Con đường cổ ngựa trải đầy lá nâu.
Thời gian, vó ngựa qua cầu!
Sáng qua lá đổ, sáng này cành trơ!
Gió đưa nhè nhẹ, tình cờ
Lá lăn, lá nghỉ; hững hờ, mong manh.
Trong lòng chợt thoáng băn khoăn
Còn bao lâu nữa lá vàng đời tôi?
