Today, I Seem Younger Than Yesterday Poem by Kong Yin

Today, I Seem Younger Than Yesterday



Today, I seem younger than yesterday
because
I did not lie,
did not walk another’s path,
nor did I await happiness in a theater.

I looked at the sky,
took the chance to nap in a golden rice field,
and wrote a poem, though short.

I held a private conversation with a flower,
led an errant butterfly to her home,
and laughed in mirth
without reason, just like a child.
