DAZE IN SPRING

For each soul who journeys on in silent perseverance.

I like lying on the spring lawn in a daze.

There are often different kites circling in the sky.

When I was seven years old, my family had a swallow-shaped kite.

It had a thin wooden frame and was covered with a layer of gauze.

It has been hanging on my wall for much longer than it has been in the sky.

One spring, I begged my parents to let it fly.

The wind was too strong that day. I did'nt have the power to tame the wind.

Everything happened too fast. The kite and the birds fly far away together.

Only a few scars left on my plams and endless accustations. Such traces are deeply engraved in my mind and can be seen everywhere.

Later in life, I drifted like a kite that was released.

Every time I arrived at a new place, I struggled to sleep in a strange bed.

At this moment, I think of the kite that day and see the scars left on my palms.

I can't control the wind's strength. I can't control the line.

I only know the old scars on my plams have faded.

Spring again, I look out the car window. A song celebrating spring from long years ago plays on the radio.

The wind does not stop. It keeps flying on.

The wind does not stop. It keeps flying on.
