Learn to say goodbye (three new poems) —— Shui Mu Poetry Society

? Probably when I was a sophomore, the teacher said that I had to read more English classics to learn English well. The first abbreviated English book I read was Notre Dame de Paris. The news I saw when I woke up in the morning first made me think it might be a fiction in my dream, but then I saw the same news, and my thoughts couldn't help but spread from the first time I saw this book to the college days and then to the high-speed train not long ago, and I was still watching the fast-moving time. Borges said: "Nothing is built on rocks, everything is on quicksand, but our responsibility is to build, just as quicksand is a rock."

? Learn to say goodbye.

Text/Gu

There is no specific ceremony.

see you again

In a blink of an eye, they have turned to ashes.

estimate

Death is the most certain destination.

There is only one true god.

Meet in front of heroes

I can only keep giving up.

Can last until

The waves in my heart can't drown my smile.

Some people who leave will meet in their dreams.

Some glory became fire and ice.

With a lifetime of maturity

Get ready and learn to be calm.

Face the inevitable, contemplative farewell to the future.

? Wake up from the deepest string dream

Text/Zhang Haifeng

April is as fresh as Bud Lake.

Bloom in front of the longest branch

Fold the willow, girl

Weave the most beautiful wreath for me

Give me the softest lingering.

The thickest red tide has subsided.

Where you stand.

It always snows on pears.

Just still there, at that time.

Willow is not a burden to the wind.

Long-term participation means not giving up.

Rain is not a burden to clouds.

Quietly falling, only meaning to return to Sichuan.

Fish is not a burden to birds.

It's far away, just to see.

Fallen leaves are not Qiu Shu's burden.

Xiao Shu left and didn't want to delay.

April is not destined to be the burden of spring.

The light support of flowing clouds is only for blooming.

I'm not your burden.

Love is not a burden.

Text/Yu Mei

Read with your eyes, yes.

See smile and mystery.

This requires distance.

Distance reduces the harm to each other.

Reading with your ears, yes.

Hear the breath and the tide

This needs to be calm.

Calm down and increase mutual trust.

Reading with your heart can

Prospects for the past and the future

This requires concentration.

Concentration is the best state of life.
