POEMS: SOUL, SCENE AND SENTIMENTS
The poem collection (written by Viet Thang) explores the relationship between the Soul (Nhân), the Scene (Cảnh), and Sentiment (Tình):
When the Soul encounters the Scene, Emotion is born.
Emotion borrows the Scene to manifest itself.
The Soul uses Emotion to sculpt the Scene.
| Poem 1: The Golden Bridge
Westward from the heart of Da Nang City The Golden Bridge floats a path through the mist Upon stone palms, a silent tryst Bound to the depths of an aching allegiance |

Poem 2: The Golden Bridge Love, let us climb where the white clouds play To drift a while in the ease of the day Through celestial rifts, the gold path wind Leaning on dreams, as the waking world fades. |
| Poem 3: Nguyen Hue Flower Street (The year of the Dragon)
On Nguyen Hue Flower Street, in Saigon’s embrace Bamboo and rattan weave a debt of grace A hundred-meter coil, as the winds carry near Where bamboo scales breathe, and the spirit wakes clear. |

Poem 4: Nguyen Hue Flower Street (The year of the Dragon) Walking the sacred spirit of Spring On Flower Street, footsteps to stirring hearts cling The Dragon leans low, etched by its worldliness As the thrum of the soul starts to gently unfurl. |
