Scenery (Liu Xia)

6.
By twilight you began your round the lake trip
When you started off with your first step
You could feel the softness of the pasture under your feet
You know nothing can be changed by now
You would not be overruled by anything
You began to be part of this piece of lake
The lonely sky above the lake
In the sky flew a lonesome bird

When the two red horses
Standing in front of you
You were caught and touched by their implicity from their eyesight

You went on with your journey
You were quiet as the lake beside you
Peaceful as the mountains around you
Mysterious as the lightless night
You are not thinking of anything
