Moon Verses

心中总有一首咏月诗

江畔何人初见月？江月何年初照人？

人生代代无穷已，江月年年望相似。

不知江月待何人，但见长江送流水。

Moonlight shines for thousands years, it never fade. I guess the Moon has been waiting for someone; the one who walks along the beach sometime; the one who first sees Moon with heart.

此时相望不相闻，愿逐月华流照君。

I am looking in the direction towards you, but my voice does not reach you;

I wish I can chase the moonlight, become part of it, falling to your side and shinning on you.

诗句摘自唐代诗人张若虚－－《春江花月夜》

I Like for You to Be Still

I like for you to be still

It is as though you are absent

And you hear me from far away

And my voice does not touch you

It seems as though your eyes had flown away

And it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth

As all things are filled with my soul

You emerge from the things

Filled with my soul

You are like my soul

A butterfly of dream

And you are like the word: Melancholy

I like for you to be still

And you seem far away

It sounds as though you are lamenting

A butterfly cooing like a dove

And you hear me from far away

And my voice does not reach you

Let me come to be still in your silence

And let me talk to you with your silence

That is bright as a lamp

Simple, as a ring

You are like the night

With its stillness and constellations

Your silence is that of a star

As remote and candid

I like for you to be still

It is as though you are absent

Distant and full of sorrow

So you would've died

One word then,

One smile is enough And I'm happy;

Happy that it's not true
