The Distance to Spring
Image source: Visual China
This is a tear
Just a distance to a spring rain
Countless tears flowing from countless eyes
Encompassing life and love
Merging into a magnificent spring rain
Washing away earthly sorrows
Illuminating a spring memory
This is a mask
Just a distance to a spring flower
Countless hurried masks
Like a flower blooming another flower
Like a cluster of blossoming loves
Ultimately, a land of flowers as abundant as spring
This is a pair of footsteps
Just a distance to a spring thunder
Countless footsteps traversing oceans and mountains
Medical staff, volunteers, delivery couriers
And the steadfastness of countless positions
Merging into a thunderous spring rain under the same sky
Dispelling gloom
Awakening the exuberance of all things reviving
This is a window
Just a distance to a ray of spring sunlight
Slowed-down time
Let spring sunlight illuminate our hearts
Let us contemplate
The secrets of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature
Let us contemplate the true meaning of life
This is a mobile phone screen
Just a distance to a spring breeze
Constant streams of data and moments
Like spring messengers
Continuously bringing forth bright news
Let us step away from the screen
To embrace a different spring
To breathe freely and deeply in the spring breeze
