Silence / 无言

by Yu Yan

Years to come
Cast foggy vagueness
In the trembling heart.

Tears
Perch on the empty mind,
Pushing forth burning memories.

Hands
Clutch the restrained passion,
Robbed of the parting words.

Dismissed as a shallow footstep
Leading to predestined eventualities,
The present
Shines in the soul’s entirety.

将至之年
在颤栗的心头
倒映雾杳的朦胧

泪水
在搁浅的思绪里栖居
荡漾出炽热的回忆

双手
紧扣矜持的眷恋
难寻离别之语

无非是奔赴命定光阴的
轻浅足印
今朝
闪熠在灵魂的每个角落
