"Hope"

Author: Ai Qing

Friend of dreams, sister of fantasy,

Originally, she is her own shadow, but she is old Walking in front of you,

As invisible as light, as unstable as wind.

There is always a distance between her and you,

Like the birds outside the window, like the flowing clouds in the sky,

Like the butterflies by the river, cunning And beautiful.

If you go up, she will fly. If you ignore her, she will chase you away.

She will always be with you, until you stop breathing.
