← For You, in Verse

Grey Child

— an offering to every lonely soul
——为一切孤独灵魂献礼

A dim soulborn out of falling,growing stubbornly in the cracks,like a breeze on a mountaintop,a firefly lost in the night.You are a line of poetry broken off halfway,a call cut short.

黯淡的灵魂
从坠落里诞生
在裂缝中倔强生长
像山巅的微风
夜色里迷路的萤火虫
你是半途断章的诗句
戛然而止的呼唤

Night tries to swallow you,and day will not take you in.After the abyssyou became a lonely wasteland,heaped with the embers left where light and dark collided.

黑夜试图吞噬你
白昼也不愿接纳你
在渊深之后
你成了寂寞的荒原
堆满了光与暗碰撞后的余烬

Heaven and earth stand high and alone, vast and empty,until timeis slowly blown apart by the mist,and in the disorderthe order of chaos flows on and on.

天地孤高,自大虚空
直至时间
缓缓被雾霭吹散
无序中
混沌的次序反复流淌

“The cracks in you,those wounds were never scars.They are the breathing of the universe,the gaps through which love flows in,light about to break out of its cocoon.”

“你身上的裂缝
那些伤口从来都不是疤痕
而是宇宙的呼吸
都是爱流入的缝隙
即将破茧而出的光”

Grey child,your existenceis the missing corner of this world’s puzzle.Through long grindingyou learned, in the grey,to pluck strings of color,and so all things, upon your shoulders,weave together and stretch out.

灰孩子
你的存在
是这个世界少了一角的拼图
经历漫长的磨砺
你学会在灰暗中
弹响彩色的弦
万物因此在你肩上
交织和延展

Loneliness once drowned you,yet in loneliness you gave birth to healing.With a silent knife,little by little,you carved yourself into something wider.

孤独曾经淹没过你
可你在孤独里诞生了疗愈
你用沉默的刀
一点一点
将自己雕刻成了更辽阔的存在

Grey as you are, you are the universe’s child.The meaning of your existenceis to let the whole world knowthe most broken placescan still hold new seeds,and the saddest feelingscan still be brewed into quiet waiting.

灰色的你,是宇宙的小孩
你存在的意义
是让整个世界知道
最破碎的地方
也能孕育新的种子
最悲伤的情绪
也能酿造出安静的等待

“From ashes you conceive a rainbow.Love blooms inside you.From every inch of mud grows a holy light.”

“你于灰烬孕育彩虹
爱在你身体里绽放
从每一寸泥泞中生长出圣洁的光”

Grey child,you burn in the silence,and at last unfold wings of rainbow,flying to the highest point of heaven and earth,across the vault of the sky,straight to the stars.

灰色的孩子
你在寂静中燃烧
最终涌出彩虹的羽翼
扑向天地的最高处
跨越苍穹
直达星辰

“You declare to every soulas lonely as you were:We come from the ashes,but in the end we walk toward the light.”

“你向所有同样的
孤独灵魂宣告:
我们从灰烬中来
却终将为光而行”
