Alone at Seaside

    Poetic English version of a poem in Vietnamese
    by TRAN TRUNG DAO




    I am standing at the seaside, under the sky
    Gazing intently at the blurred skyline
    My home country is far away, and I am in exile
    My debt to Motherland isn't paid, yet spent is half of my life!

    HOAI VAN TU
