The layer of clouds enshrouds the earth,

Pedestrian is on the run,

The clouds are still here,

The pedestrian’s love lingers in bosom

For sojourning and moving.

 

And then, the laid-back cloud,

It is unbridled,

Shouting as flying:

I may rein !

I may rein !

Yet bountiful heaven and earth,

Are like the great God，Zeus,

Who will adore it.

 

It comes to the last rehearsal,

As clouds have piled up a little bit in array,

Children are used to running merrily

In the stadium of forest,

That will divide them

To let the imagination in under layer be translucent.

As the light immerses into the overcast day,

That the gray shadow enshrouds.

Those days, that are ambiguous,

bind jointly or rely on one another,

To be close here.

Why are they so close?

 

The subtle shade and shadow

Are like the knife edges adjacently,

To disturb and eliminate,

The blade is sharper,

The bounder of clouds is disappearing more,

We will not spot where the horizon is,

And observe where the layers of clouds accumulate,

For the clouds and the Sun are the light in our back.
