Picking Up a Fallen Leaf
I just want to write a poetic recollection,
Open my heart and seize the shimmer of youth,
Gather a handful of lingering fragrance,
The waning moon washes away the melancholy of the city streets,
I write to a ray of moonlight,
A gaunt silhouette weeps quietly amidst chaos,
Preserving human candlelight, offering a lotus blossom to the Buddha,
Let the world be filled with the fragrant scent of jasmine flowers,
Compose a tranquil melody from the autumn wind,
Through the memories of flowing years, autumn leaves transform into vibrant tapestries,
Don't let the melancholic feeling after the rain be inexplicable,
Don't let youthful exuberance be the foolishness of bygone years,
Amidst the intricate paths of the mortal world,
Pick up a fallen leaf with care,
Walk into the long, winding alleyways of time,
Shout out expectations to the other shore,
A long, heartfelt laugh expresses the beauty and depth of tonight,
Hold your hand, grasp your flowing sleeves,
Through seasonal windows,
Live the way you want to be,
