Mid-Autumn Festival poem
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival in China, when the moon is brightest and fullest during the year and families have their reunion dinner, eat mooncakes, and children are allowed to play with various kinds of lanterns till late at night.
For those who cannot reunite with their families, they can still watch the same full moon in different places and think of each other.
Here is a poem I write in Chinese originally:
<August 15>
Day in and day out
of this secular
world
however tired I may be
on this prescribed
night
I have still to summon up my best
strength
to write a reunion chapter
for all
this is the glory of the
moon
or is it because behind my
brightness
hides the ever-encouraging
sun?
