The Flowers Of Ice Lotus Poem by Haiqing Hua

Scarborough


The flowers of ice lotus


The cold in this extreme cold
It is colder than the cold in North Pole and South Pole
Cold water frozen into ice
The ice flies on the air
They are frozen into ice flowers
As many flowers of lotus

Cold ice looks like flowers
Like the dokbua
The seat of gods in religions
A glittering carving of translucency
They are so noble and pure

The flowers of ice lotus
They only open during the time of this extreme of cold
A state of air flow
The moment it combines with vapors
While the wave is so turbulent
They open as flowers

The cold of this extreme cold
It is a warning from nature
In this society of materialism
It opens as the flowers of ice lotus

冰莲之花

极寒之寒
比北极南极都寒冷
冷水成冰
飞扬在空中
凝结成冰雪的花朵
如同朵朵莲花

寒冰如花
如莲花座
宗教神的座位
晶莹剔透
高贵而纯洁

冰莲之花
只开放在极寒时刻
气体流动的状态
与水汽切合的刹那
任那波涛的汹涌
花朵般开放

极寒之寒
自然给予的警告
在物欲横流的人类社会里面
开放如冰莲之花朵
