Editor's note: Whenever things go against our expectations, we are always willing to look forward to the next life, hoping that every encounter in the next life will become eternal. However, the afterlife is always just a mirage. We cannot be eternal and there is no afterlife. Those expectations for the next life can only be sung in poetry.
01
Tree
If there is an afterlife, be a tree and stand for eternity.
There are no gestures of joy or sorrow,
half of them are peaceful in the dust,
half of them are flying in the wind;
half of them are in the shade,
Half bathed in sunlight.
Very silent and very proud.
Never rely on, never look for.
02
Wind
If there is an afterlife,
should turn into a gust of wind,
it can become eternal.
No sentimental feelings,
No sentimental eyes.
Half of it is free and easy in the rain,
Half of it is traveling in the spring;
Lonely,
Going on a long journey alone, < /p>
Take away the faint thoughts,
Never miss,
Never fall in love.
03
Bird
If there is an afterlife, I want to be a bird.
Fly across eternity without the trouble of getting lost.
There is blazing hope in the east,
There is a warm nest bed in the south,
Drive away the setting sun to the west,
Wake up to the north fragrance.
If there is an afterlife,
I hope that every encounter
can become eternal.
Flying freely like a bird
