The Last Trace of Pale Red – Such Coolness
Last Night, I Dreamed of a Blizzard

Last night
I dreamt of a blizzard swirling down
falling on the plateau
falling into countless burning eyes
a refreshing coolness
a coolness of the snow domainfalling from the snow mountainflowing from the river source
transmitting auspicious vital energy to the country's tense nerves

Morning
In the first ray of gentle and pure sunlight
on the still-feverish map
the plateau shed the last trace of pale red
such coolness
I heard someone excitedly and affectionately shouted—
'Little White Rabbit Has Returned'

Days of siege and confinement released
Lakes burst open
Horse hooves (Horse hooves)
The He River (River)
That little girl wearing a mask followed her mother, with a butterfly fluttering on her braidRain clouds drifted across her eyesStanding on the plateau

Looking into the distance at the besieged city
Yellow Crane Tower still gazed mournfully at the horizon
On the Yangtze River
On the Han Yang TreeOn the Pingyu Head…When will the news of spring spreadUntil all the scars of the mountains and rivers fade

Countless masks transformed into crying clouds
The next
A blizzard of spring, pure and white like the beginning, bright like a mirrorLet evil have no place to hideLet benevolent beings no longer fear and cry

Let tragedies be defined as tragedies
Let heroes be restored as heroes
Let them be engraved on historical monumentsAuthor BiographyWang Haiyan, male, net ID Huangbeijiu Tu, member of Qinghai Province Writers Association, Vice Chairman of Haidong Writers Association.
