height
Text/Li Baodong
A stone standing in the shallow waters of the river
Like a tall giant
Dragonflies fall on top
Tadpoles in the river, casting admiring eyes
My diminutive body is like an ant
Walk in the open wilderness
Overhead, the height of the gaze can not reach
The chirping of birds hangs in mid-air
Sounds like there is the pain of falling leaves
