Questions for Mirage World

Questions for Mirage World
(2007.11.09)

Sunshine, where you stay at night?
Do not hide beneath the earth!
When the dark hour close on,
Whose hands will you hold on?

Moonlight, where you rest in daylight?
Do not rush up for a new dawn!
When the sky is torn by a rosy finger,
Whose dream will your mood feed on?

Ah stars, dust clouds and sand sea,
Shut your blinking flickering eyes!
When the time ends, North Pole melts,
Whose thought will you amuse?

Mountains, rivers, and winds,
Listen to my desperate cries!
When I journey into a lost land,
Who will adore your honey milk?

Voice, words, and songs,
Grace of perfect illusions!
When I’m fed up, refuse to listen,
Who will shed tears for your tales?

Life, works, in this mirage world,
Ponder the mind of Hamlet’s stage.
When a fine dream finds a glad ending,
Who would see its nightmare meaning?
