In that early chilly morning,
The cloud was ignited by fire,
The sky ignited by the cloud,
The square then dyed red by the sky.

Thinker's Invisible Wings

Thoughts are thinker's invisible wings.
Anything but thought can be snatched away
Given up or forgotten,
'Cause it's what a thinker lives for

A thinker must think for the love
Of mankind without self-pity -
Marching on the front line in the war
Of civilization against barbarity,
Democracy against autocracy,
And searching for answers to the ends
Of heaven and earth, and life and death

A thinker must foresee spring in the dead of winter,
Cold snap in the warmth of sunny spring,
Dawn in the dead of night, darkness under the sun,
Civilization in the corner of barbarity,
And the ghost of dictators in a civilized society

A thinker's scenic viewpoint isn't on the top of Mount Tai
Where the sunrise and yellow earth are its beautiful scenes,
Nor is Alps where ocean and green forests in its surrounding.
A thinker has to stand on top of Chomolungma
To watch various civilizations of mankind

O thinker, I long for
Seeing your glittering wings
In the long dark night,
And riding on your invisible wings
To fly with you
