Selected Poems of Li Nanfang: Cold Nights

Night

Lee South

Those piping hot lines of poetry seem to drift away in the dust

The lake is as quiet as ever

There has never been a high tide because of this

In the midst of loneliness, the end of the hustle and bustle also calmed down

The world seemed empty

The road does not know where it leads

Walk through the Long Street of Lights

Plain wind cold night

The suspended dream shadow dissipated without a trace

A sky of wet clouds

Stars and flames that can ignite ice and snow

All are extinguished

Only the ashes of passion

Flying in the autumn water reed bank

Excerpt from Li Nanfang's poetry collection "The Rainbow of Life"
