Outlook on a spring day

By F. Du

Trees and grass are overgrown 

in the still standing mountains 

and by the quietly flowing rivers

surrounding the country's war-torn capital

Sorrow and sadness filled my heart and inside 

when I look at the scene in front of my eyes

on this supposedly bright and joyful spring day

Missing and longing for my loved one

make tears dripping down my face 

not to mention that even the birds' flapping sounds 

caught me off guard as a big surprise 

No words at all from my parted family for three months 

due to the ongoing war against the rebellions

Hairs on my head are getting thinner and thinner

after many sleepless nights 

longing for a precious letter to come
