Never Mind to Which Direction the Wind Blows
by Meihua Li © 2002
The ordinary days
Quietly and slightly pass away
One day after another day
It is said that
To live dully and colorlessly
Is to waste the life ruthlessly
So dont worry too much
About the result of the story
Just give it a good beginning
The gentle breeze is rising
So casually and carelessly
Never mind
To which direction the wind blows
What it carries away
Is the dullness of life
And what it brings about
Is the excitement in your heart
Even if you become
Paralyzed in agony
It will be a kind of sorrowful beauty
And romance with melancholy
Dont set up defenses purposefully
And worry that you will be hurt deeply
The holiest realm of beauty is being natural
Just let yourself be directed by your feeling
No matter where you will be
I know I always lose myself in the discourse
Now when the wind is rising
And the clouds are scudding in the sky
I ask myself quietly
Whether I will lose myself
Again in my own feeling
