Description:
Chinese Poetic Writober 2025.
Notes:
• A collection of poems about various characters written during the Asiatober 2025 #asiatober_zoya25 • This year, I'd like to participate in this event with the poems in English. There is a collection like this in Russian on my FicBook profile (2024) • Maybe, not each day will be covered • The name of the collection is based on two Chinese idioms: 比翼双飞 bǐ yì shuāng fēi - to fly wing to wing (figuratively: to live in a perfect harmony, to be inseparable) 海枯石烂 hǎi kū shí làn - [until] the sea dries up and the stones rot (usually in oaths; figuratively: forever, forever and ever)

***

Under the Sky, which may be sometimes so cruel Thousands of souls are wandering through their path. Hidden will be the way in the stone that’s lying; lightens, however, true, everlasting love. Some of the souls are destined to rule Empires, Others are here to support their solid ground, As their purpose is to make safe and sound Every step of someone who is above. Still, they are saved, — so tricky! — by their protector, Creature from Heaven with strange motifs: Heart lets them whisper some kind of prayer, Personal, intimate and sincere; Eradicating this worrying fear For someone’s life, — so fervently, secretly loved. The smoke from the incense burner is thin, As their bond that’s protected by Guanyin.
Notes:
Guanyin (观音, Guānyīn: "Considering the sounds of the world" or "Observing the sounds") is the goddess (bodhisattva) of mercy in Chinese Buddhism.
