specks of living light
twinkling in the dark
我的想象是一群飞舞的萤火虫
涌动着赋有生机的火花
在黑夜里闪烁,跳跃

that do not attract the careless glance ,
murmurs in these desultory lines.

and dances in the air for a day.

may lightly dance upon time's waves
when my works heavy with import

moments
and has time enough

carrying a single laughter.
The tree gazes in love at its own beautiful shadow
which yet it never can grasp.

sudden liquid note of its own that is
never repeated.

movement stands still to contemplate
its own depth.
