In the spring
I often encounter sunshine
Warm water, fresh air
The elf of the free bird
Wings spread out over the vast sky
They come from afar and flap their wings and fly into the distance
I've also met what I've encountered in winter
Vast hurricane, boundless fallen leaves
Torrential rain, snow and hail
Bone-chilling pain
Fear and death in the depths of darkness
I saw: the grass is always facing difficulties
The roots stubbornly dig downwards
The glow of flowers
Insist on illuminating the inner paradise
My heart could not continue to be silent
It says, please let me run and sing like a river
