Excerpts from Xi Murong's Poems That Astonish the World
1.
How to Meet You
In My Most Beautiful Moments
For This
I Have Prayed Before Buddha for Five Hundred Years
2.
Twenty Years Later, While Wounded
Our Souls Return Every Night
When the Breeze Passes By
It Transforms into a Full Garden of Fragrant Flowers
3.
Please Sing Me a Song of Outward Passage
Using the Forgotten Ancient Words
Please Call Out to Me with Beautiful Tremolos
The Great Rivers and Mountains in My Heart
Those Only Found Outside the Great Wall
4.
If I Were to Meet You Again in Another Life
Just to Gather Once
Just for That Moment of Sweetness and Sorrow Billions of Light-Years Away
That Moment, All the Sweetness and Sorrow
5.
I Really Like Those Kind of Dreams
Knowing You Have Traveled Thousands of Miles for Me, Yet Still Feeling the Fragrance of Fresh Grass and Fallen Petals
It's as if We Have Just Met
6.
The Young You Flees Like a Shadow
Your Smile is So Shallow and Fleeting
Gradually Vanishes in the Evening Mist
I Turned Over That Yellowed Page
Fate Bound It with Crude Stitching
With Tears, I Read It Again and Again
But I Have to Admit
Youth is a Book Too Hastily Written
7.
If I Could Meet You on a Hill Covered in Honeysuckle Blossoms, If We Could
Deeply Love Once, and Then Part Ways
Then a Lifetime of Longevity
It's Just Just
When Looking Back
That Short Moment
