CHAPTER FOUR \u2014 THE FIELD OF YELLOW FLOWERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

I cannot quite recall how many times I have whispered a single, small question into the quiet of the night \u2014 asking myself, asking you, or asking an insentient, faraway field to which I once gave a name the Field of Yellow Flowers, “When we will able to see each other again?”<\/p>\n

Each time autumn returns, each time the monsoon winds shift, the earth turns crisp, the air tastes of change, my heart stirs restlessly, reaching out to touch a memory I believed to have grown old, yet which still breathes within me. So often I contradict myself, lost between dream and reality. Reality, because she was with me not once but two times already. Dream, because she had arrived at dusk and had gone at dawn. I have wandered through the Field of Yellow Flowers on an autumn night; she has found me in the pine woods at summer\u2019s end; we have walked hand in hand, cheek to cheek, shoulder to shoulder at a riverside tavern veiled in moonlight, have had passionate love under the stars and moon witness…<\/p>\n

Tonight, as autumn leans halfway through, my heart twists in sudden longing.<\/p>\n

I sit alone at this small table by the window. The yellow lamp spills my wavering shadow across the wall. Looking out, the sky with bright moon and stars; the pine forest murmurs like someone\u2019s soft breath at my ear. One hand holds a pen, the other drifts over this sheet as though brushing her hair, that wild hair from the day we met, hair that brushed my face as we walked side by side; hair that still clings to the scent of two nights of love… Such illusions return, keeping me awake each night.<\/p>\n

Tonight, my heart aches unbearably.<\/p>\n

This longing is no phantom, it has form, it has name. It curls through drifting smoke, coils around my mind, presses tight against my ribs case, swelling and contracting with each breath. Poetic pulse rises up, and I start write them down:<\/p>\n

Suddenly, my heart aches unbearably
\nI wish I could reach out and ask you
\nThe Field of Yellow Flowers of years ago
\nis it now beneath the monsoon winds
\nWatching the autumn moon, my thoughts unfurl
\na lone shadow lifting its gaze to the sky<\/em><\/p>\n

Darling, are you too lifting your eyes to the moon tonight? Are you missing and thinking of me, as I quietly whisper your name, summon the past,”Darling, is the Field of Yellow Flowers still shining bright, are you lonely watching the moon above?”<\/p>\n

The flower field has woven a love story
\nWhen I suddenly stepped down from a train unexpectedly
\nIn the middle of the monsoon season
\nIn the middle of a moon season
\nI often told you, if it wasn’t a predestined relationship
\nWaiting for no one, but stood there at the station in the middle of the windy afternoon<\/em><\/p>\n

I remember our first meeting. I stepped down from the train unexpectedly in a place I never meant to visit. Did the endless yellow flowers call me in, or did fate draw the thread?<\/p>\n

I stepped down \u2014 and there you were
\nHair lifted by the wind, \u00e1o d\u00e0i fluttering
\nStartled, I thought of ghostly tales
\nfour eyes caught, locked in silence
\nWithout knowing why, I came closer and pretended to ask
\n\u201cI don\u2019t know the way here
\ncould you show me where to go?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It makes me smile now, doesn\u2019t it? Even now I still wonder, why were you there, waiting for no one? Why did you meet me? How could we grow so close, so easily, so quickly that I secretly pinched my own skin to believe it was real?<\/p>\n

It began like that, strangely beautiful
\nYou smiled shyly, nodded kindly
\nWe left the station together, dusk falling
\nI followed you, as though fate had quietly arranged it
\nacross the Field of Yellow Flowers
\nwalking unhurriedly
\nwind roaming free, silence gentle all around
\nwe walked side by side yet wandering nowhere
\nbeneath the full blaze of the harvest moon<\/em><\/p>\n

I swear to you, in that moment I felt I had strayed into some ghostly tale. Your hair danced in the wind, carrying a scent that dazed my senses. We walked together from the empty station toward no clear end. Then, in a hush neither could break:<\/p>\n

We both turned to each other suddenly
\nas if to listen
\nfor the heartbeat warming two lonely chests
\nIn my arms, your body sank
\nyour lips bloomed to taste my fervent kiss<\/em><\/p>\n

You said nothing; I drifted deeper into that dream, knowing words would ruin the hush:<\/p>\n

Beneath the autumn moon,
\nin the middle of the Yellow Flowers field,
\nwe came to each other as in a dream.
\nNobody think of anything in the future<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, that moment, that place… everything froze in time. When the present was so unclear, who could speak of tomorrow? I still remember how we walked side by side that twilight, so slowly, no words passing between us; the sunlight quickly faded over the boundless field, while waves of wind rippled through the flowers like green rice paddies of the past, leaving my heart drifting far away. I wanted to speak, yet fell silent, afraid that a single word would break the fragile calm and scatter all things like morning mist…<\/p>\n

A sudden gust lashes a branch against the window, pulling me from my wandering thoughts. I light another cigarette and write on:<\/p>\n

Such is life
\nonce parted, there may yet be reunion
\nBut between you and me, something remains misaligned
\nso waiting only deepens<\/p>\n

Autumn has returned
\nleaves carpet the yard
\nStill we watch from distant edges of longing
\nThe Field of Yellow Flowers breathes again with restless winds
\nThe autumn moon is still shining high in the sky
\nI think of you \u2014
\nmy chest tightens, a dull ache swells
\nwithin this fragile chord of \u201ctwo ends of longing.\u201d (*)<\/em><\/p>\n

The poem finishes but my heart does not settle. I set down my pen and step out to the porch. Overhead, the autumn moon glitters; the tip of my cigarette flares and dims. The hanging wind chimes hums a different tune each time the breeze sighs past. Some friends glance at me lately, puzzled, \u201cYou look a bit weird these days!\u201d Sometimes I tried looking in the mirror and recognized what they were thoughts. Well, so what if I was crazy! When the longing was big enough, being crazy was also a way to know that I still existed in this world. Of course, I couldn\u2019t share my innermost thoughts because even if I said it, no one would believe it. And how could ordinary people believe such a wild love story?<\/p>\n

I go back to my room, fall onto the bed, clutch my pillow of dreams, trying to cradle sleep. In drifting half-sleep, I see her return, still in your white \u00e1o d\u00e0i, hair streaming down. She pass beside me, strands of hair brushing my cheek lightly, then her figure slips away into a tilting Field of Yellow Flowers dancing in the wind. I run after her, call her name, only to hear the wind chuckle softly. And I wake to find my hand waving at empty air.<\/p>\n

Anytime later, if someone should ask me, \u201cDo you believe you will see her again?\u201d Perhaps, I will smile and answer, \u201cSo long as one heart keeps the dream alive, the dream can never die.\u201d And even if it is only a dream, I would step off that train again a thousand times more, because only when I see her again, standing amidst the Field of Yellow Flowers, I will truly feel the boundless force of love.\/-<\/p>\n
