Huang Zanyang<\/strong><\/p>\n

I walked onto the street<\/span><\/p>\n

I walked onto the street<\/p>\n

I moved the trees to both sides.<\/p>\n

I walk into the canyon<\/p>\n

I split the tall mountain in half.<\/p>\n

I walked into a big river<\/p>\n

I pushed the riverbanks to both sides.<\/p>\n

I walked into the wilderness<\/p>\n

My shadow split into two.<\/p>\n

I walked into the snow.<\/p>\n

Footprints were carried far away by me<\/p>\n

I walked into the crowd<\/p>\n

A sword was thrown into the furnace.<\/p>\n

Noise is the sheath of loneliness<\/p>\n

The sword's edge needs starlight to be reforged.<\/p>\n

Snow has more patience<\/span><\/p>\n

On a higher cliff<\/p>\n

Manifest into thousands of spirits<\/p>\n

A scorching hot kiss<\/p>\n

Rivers wandering the earth<\/p>\n

A crystal heart, piece by piece.<\/p>\n

The distant mountains of suffering ache.<\/p>\n

Snow has more patience<\/p>\n

To heal the earth's wounds<\/p>\n

A lonely bird call<\/p>\n

A half-cocked steel cannon<\/p>\n

A pair of eyes peeking out from behind the door<\/p>\n

A sudden ruin on the street<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A loud noise in the depths of silence<\/span><\/p>\n

A major event is unfolding<\/p>\n

It shattered into pieces.<\/p>\n

with a heroic fall from a cliff<\/p>\n

To redeem this broken world<\/p>\n

A complete pure white<\/p>\n

Fossil<\/span><\/p>\n

The tide receded<\/p>\n

The tail fin swam deeper into the rock formation.<\/p>\n

Wings descended from ancient times<\/p>\n

Starlight recedes into the pupils<\/p>\n

The long night tore open the brocade robe.<\/p>\n

Time freezes in space.<\/p>\n

Like a fish hidden among rocks<\/p>\n

Dragon turns to stone<\/p>\n

Ancestors carved themselves into stone<\/p>\n

Stone brought them all to<\/p>\n

The dry riverbed downstream<\/p>\n

Claws, gaping maw, bow and arrow<\/p>\n

Chase and Escape<\/p>\n

The prey has been digested.<\/p>\n

Everything is eternal in stillness<\/p>\n

delicate bones<\/p>\n

It's a key inserted into spacetime<\/p>\n

Turn<\/p>\n

The secret is opening<\/p>\n

in the veins of quartz<\/p>\n

The planet's ferocity is swelling.<\/p>\n
