The setting of the sun
a crimson appearance in the sky
seems to be tired
sitting on the edge
quietly waiting for dusk
to bring out the moon
no doubt this is
a beautiful evening
the few glowing
colors of the sky
dyeing the land slowly
giving it new
and golden garments
perhaps the dusk is drunk
looking at the scarlet in everything
i know in my heart
the evening in spring is just
heaven on earth
the evening breeze gently carries
the scent of freshly turned soil
and of the freshness of grass
strolling here
walking with the evening sun
i will then return with the moon on my back
leisurely i tread
with a free and spontaneous mood
the dim light of the night
it can soothe this lonely heart
and the breeze flowing smoothly
dispersing the despondency
easily
standing on the silent riverbank
the charm of the willows is mesmerizing
fragrance from the peach tree makes you linger
for a long while
the seemingly calmness of the river
it seems to ripple in my soul
thinking about the present
this face-paced life wears people out quick
only the tranquility of this water at dusk
it sublimates the mind
it cleanses my mind now
a full moon lies quietly
there on the river
not sure how it feels
i guess transcendent
i only know that a relaxed mood
it makes me feel a little less blue.
