Misty Rain Over Delaware River

As soon as I woke up, I watched the sky. It was six thirty in the morning with falling misty rain. Weather forecast predicted the rain would fall the whole day The sun didn't rise yet and golden lights shone on rain mists. Gray Franklin bridge and its lights appeared blurred in the rain At day break, the bridge traffic was busy in both directions. On Camden river bank, night lights coldly shone. Over the long river, million scales of golden lights glittered There was a barge in the middle of the river Its bright beams danced on waving glittering water. Then, several hours later By chance, I looked out on the river Misty rain was still falling Camden was under shroud of mists and Delaware river covered by misty clouds.

Hôm nay, trời sẽ mưa ngày Mặt trời chưa thức, đèn vàng mù sương. Franklin cầu xám, đèn mờ Vào ngày xe chạy ngược xuôi hai chiều. Camden lạnh sáng đèn đêm Sông dài, triệu sóng lăn tăn sóng vàng Giữa sông có một tầu hàng Đèn pha nhẩy với sóng vàng lăn tăn. Thế rồi, khoảng mấy giờ sau Tình cờ tôi lại nhìn ra sông này Ngoài trời mưa bụi vẫn bay Sương mù thành phố, sông đầy khói mây. 3/14/2015 NHIEN NGUYEN MD
