I cannot remember my Father
Only sometimes in the midst of my play
a tune seems to hover my playthings
the tune of some song that he used to hum while rocking my cradle
I cannot remember my father
but when in the early autumn morning
the smell of the jasminum flowers float in the air
the scent of the morning service in the temple
comes to me as scent of father
I cannot remember my father
only when from my bedroom window I send my eyes into the blue of distant sky,
I fell that the stillness of
my father's gaze on my face
