I believe everything is a seed. Only after burial can there be vitality. Which book or poem did this sentence come from Gu Cheng? What does this mean?

Gu Cheng: Dedicated to my teacher Andersen.

Both Andersen and the author are clumsy carpenters.

( 1)

You push the wood plane,

Just like driving a canoe,

On a calm sea,

Drift slowly ...

The shavings spread like waves,

Disappear at the end of the sea;

Wood grains are like undulating lines in poetry.

Bring greetings from the years.

Without a flag,

Without gold, silver and colored silk,

But the emperors of the world,

I won't be richer than you.

You take a kingdom of heaven,

Balloons carry flowers and dreams,

All innocent childishness,

They are all your ports.

(2)

Golden quicksand

Lost your fairy tale.

With me—

Ignorant smiles and tears

I believe

Then everything is a seed.

Only after burial

Only when you're alive.

When I came back,

Eyebrows are white.

The desert has become

Green world

I want to rest here.

Between flowers and dew

I'll find it again.

Feelings lost in childhood
