The Sunflower

By Rose Lu

Is it the sweet smile
of a newborn baby in dream?
Is it the budding flower
of youth?
No,
It’s the ancient Greek nymph
Clytie
in love with the Sun
& nbsp;
She loves him
So her heart turns toward him
from sunrise to sunset.
& nbsp;
She loves him
So she looks up to him
till her hairs turn grey
& nbsp;
Near or far
It’s measured by the light
Faithful and true
It’s witnessed by Heaven and the Earth.
& nbsp;
Van Gogh’s sunflower
has a set value
But that of Clytie’s
is priceless 

O
My Apollo
I love you so much
but as a conceited person
I am unable to say
words of love 
& nbsp;
And all my love
Has gone hidden
In Van Gogh's painting
& nbsp;
My love
Is that of Clytie's
that
of
The sunflower

So her heart turns toward him

从日升到日落

and keeps on this way from the sunrise to the sunset.

爱他

She loves him

就每天仰望他

So she looks up at him

从青丝到白发

till her hairs turn from dark to grey.
