尘埃篇 Dust
The Wilds
Appreciate fireworks of city
shining on night sky.
Glance over complicated world,
but only idling away fleeting time.
With a heart under massive load,
work for making a living in weariness.
Meditating over and over;
Muttering again and again.
Is there anyone responding to
sighs and groans?
A drop of brilliant ray
slides down from sky.
As eagle stretches wings,
soaring from tiptoes.
Leaping and flying over
raise you toward cloud and fire pillars.
Arms are not shortened,
and dignity is not lost.
Though in bewilderment,
walk out of
the gobi,
raged by fierce wind,
with vast gravel and scarce grass!
“By day He went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a
pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.”
