A Cicada in A Cold Night - 寒夜蟬


This poem was inspired by the words, 寒蟬 in a song but I was unable to complete the poem. A few days later, out of the blue, it was suddenly completed unintentionally.

窗外寒蟬夜叫聲 Beyond the window are the cold sounds of cicadas,
攕碎夢界不留情 Shattering borders of dreams without mercy.
莫見燭影覺淚痕 No candle light seen but traces of tears felt.
牛郎依看織女星 The Cowherd still looking towards the Spinning Maid Star.
