Vincent Tran Poems

For decades, I've traveled this same road
On this old path, where memories clung

Green shoots of spring, a hopeful start,
...

Senator Graham is now set to rest
A heavy weight upon my anxious heart
The path ahead, a canvas bare,
A silent space, suddenly not heard
...

I looked out the plane's window, rays of sun
Golden kisses brightens my heart has begun
Clouds like pure white atolls whispered
My mind softly emerged
...

A gentle soul, a royal light,
A heart that shone with grace so bright
So vast in love, so deep and true,
The world was made more kind through you.
...

What a high school night, in a Mustang shine,
Coming back from football gleamy lights

Homecoming date dresses glitter, suits so neat,
...

Oh, my American road trips
Celebrating a quarter millennium of freedom
We go from East to West
From North to South
...

Waves relentlessly kiss into the soft sand
As ocean breeze whistles away at the moment
The sun dips down, a fading azure gleam,
Like moments caught within a dream.
...

Barely over sweet sixteen—
Just yesterday puffing the cake's candles
But two years later, barely over sixteen
The age of those who never came home.
...

American flag
Flapping soothingly in sunlight
Shining in moonlight
...

Roots deeply onto below
Brown veins rise through living bark
Ancient giant green stands
...
