Before the power went out, we sat around in the small living room.
Wait for the TV series to start.
Everyone sat down before the power went out.
In every corner of the world, waiting;
Some lives, the end, some.
At first, the series was quiet.
Discontinuity before power failure
Mom, just like when you left.
We can't stop the power outage either.
In the suddenly dark room
I want to know the whole world.
It's getting dark, isn't it, mom?
The place where you go is also dark.
Before the age of five, the stars were in the night sky.
Like my unreasonable eyes in your arms.
Mom, I remember the cool night wind.
We sat around the yard.
Even after the power failure, mom, I was in darkness.
Still in your warm heart, watching.
Father's sitting direction, a cigarette butt.
Loneliness, ignorance
Li Nan
Dim Lights is just one of Li Nan's many poems describing maternal love. This poem does not take any special form, but the author's deep nostalgia for his mother permeates the poem. The expressive tone and true feelings make us feel the poet's deep nostalgia for his mother who died young.
The author is good at choosing some ordinary things in life, which reminds her of her mother. The family sat happily in the small living room, waiting for the TV series to start, when the power went out suddenly, and it was dark all around, only in the direction where my father was sitting, and a cigarette butt went out alone. Naturally, the author thinks of his mother, who died young because of her lonely old father.
When the electricity stopped, the TV play was over. When a person dies, the course of life should be over. Isn't life just a TV play? The author naturally associates ordinary TV dramas with life dramas, so the author wrote, "Before the power failure, everyone sat around/waited in every corner of the world; /Some lives end and some begin. " The first verse of this poem can be said to be expressed in descriptive language. But the second and third paragraphs completely use monologue language, as if the author poured out his feelings to his mother in the dark. It is so touching to read.
The power outage is sudden and ordinary people can't stop it. The poet couldn't stop his mother's sudden death. Therefore, the poet feels a kind of fatigue and pain in the afterlife for his mother's death, and feels infinite melancholy and loss. In the endless pain, the poet touched the scene and thought of the darkness of the underworld. The place where his mother went was also dark and unbearable. How he wishes his mother could go to a bright and happy world! Therefore, I can only ask hopefully when I know there is no hope: "Is it really dark where mom/you are going?"
Then, the poet was completely lost in the memory of his mother. The poet recalled the summer night of childhood, snuggling in his mother's arms, sitting in the yard, watching the stars all over the sky, letting the night wind blow gently ... The happy memories of childhood made the author unforgettable. Yes, how happy I will be to snuggle up in my mother's warm arms again!
Blackout does not adopt any unique art form. The author vividly describes his memory of his mother who died young, so it is a natural expression of feelings, which is the reason why this poem is touching and the charm of this poem.
