The Lóng

Sarit quietly sleeps
In her room, she is dreaming
the Lóng is watching

The koi plays the flute at dusk
No evil can enter here.

Waterfall

Painting by Jia Lu

Here’s the waterfall
On the edge of consciousness,
The path to freedom.

I awake the inner lóng
On the road of loneliness.

Painting by Jià Lu

A Lóng is asleep
In the depth of my soul.
Will I awake him?

The waterfall is front of
Me, will I be brave enough?

Art by David Revoy

A sleeping dragon
Is still a strong one, then don’t
Wake him up too soon.

Until your are able to
Defeat him and be a Lóng.

La rivière du temps
A coulé. Il y a du blanc
Dans ma chevelure.

Les soucis et les peines n’ont pas
Eu raison de mes espérances.

Je regarde, fière,
Vers l’avenir, guidée par
Un bébé dragon.

Toujours en avant, prête pour
Le saut dans le vide immense.

Je t’embrasse, ma princesse, ne sois pas sage, va de l’avant, tu es jeune-

I promise you.
