Khúc Mùa Thu ~
Performed by: Lê Dung ~
Music by: Phú Quang ~
Lyrics (derived from a poem) by: Hồng Thanh Quang ~
This song is hauntingly good... An AMP friend of mine introduced this song to me just recently. The very first time I heard it, I fell in love with it. 'Though I have to admit, I couldn't grasp the meanings of all the lyrics. Some of the lyrics are beyond my capability/comprehension. As I've said a few times, Vietnamese is one of the most beautiful languages on earth, yet, one of the hardest to learn.
Still, with my limited knowledge in Vietnamese language, it was enough for me to feel the sadness, loneliness, and despair in the song. It could have easily brought tears to my eyes, but I wouldn't let the teardrops fall. Instead, I let the lyrics and the music of this song inspire me to write a free verse poem for it. The poem describes my feelings derived from listening to this song.
I just have to use the term "hauntingly good" because the more you listen to the song, the more its music and lyrics linger in your head... for a long time after the song is over--in an aimless manner, yet to capture your heart in a very strange way...

Free Verse Poem: "A Moment In Time"
Like a passing cloud,
gently you touched my heart
only for a brief moment in time,
then you're gone...
But forever, your image shall stay
And forever, I'm haunted by your love...
'Though just for a moment in time,
don't you know that brief moment is my eternity?
