long ago
I believed
time would wear it away
this ever-flowing river
of my longing

很久以前
我相信
時間會將它沖逝
這個不斷流動
我的渴望之河
Chinese Translation (Simplified)
很久以前
我相信
时间会将它冲逝
这个不断流动
我的渴望之河
Bio Sketch
Internationally known poet Sylvia Forges-Ryan is a former Editor of Frogpond, the journal of the Haiku Society of America, and author of Take a Deep Breath: The Haiku Way to Inner Peace.
The emotional and narrative turn in the lower verse and the effective use of symbolically rich words, "time" and "river," lift the poem up a notch.
