Seeing things that no one could
If he spoke of them, he's crazy

Today, you glanced at my computer,
You were surprised to see,
I wrote something...

Hey, even if it all came to an end now,
Keep it, and hide it deep in your heart—
The miracle of our togetherness, our friendship,
The times when your spirit made me smile brighter than ever—
Because all these little things...

Recently, I was chasing moonbeams in a dream
It's just a typical, whimsical childhood scheme
but this time a veil was lifted from my eyes
and what I saw had me gasping with sighs.

On a balmy evening, I was out enjoying a walk,
Admiring the flowers and scenery on my block;

Moonlight poured, and nobody else was about,
Because I had become restless, I had gone out.

Tonight, it is the first full moon of the Lunar Calendar year. 
It is also the end of the CNY's celebration.

The villages welcome the lantern festival.
Kick off...

To raise a child; How does the village help

Along with everyone else helps raise the...

Rejection stood aloof at the inn curbing the bloom,
Holding and seeing the babe fight a harsh board. ...

Or perfect words' tones at place
It doesn't assume a good act
Or speech determining lie or fact
Does it make one wise like ants?
Growing impact in their solemn chants

Suddenly the tallest mountain set on fire,
And I suddenly leaped three times higher,
Oh God, I wondered ''Is this your wrath''?
But wait, wait, I guessed that was not Earth!
There was a beautiful sunrise,
But the...

If one's fate follows a multi-day course ending.
Even though the trip is on its way to soothe
