Analysis of An Indescribable Mid-Autumn Night



An Indescribable Mid-Autumn Night
By William He

In multi-warped time,
Proteus strolling in a differently shaped bay.
Wave-particle duality,
Stories of Aliens and spirits,
The five-dimensional space out there.
Upon the blue Azores,
The hawksbill planets watch in awe,
Luna fashioning an inner circular arc in quiet.
The veil that cloaks and mirage,
Climbing heaven and descending,
Her thought is not easily traced to its source.
Tides with wreathed wand,
Taking whitish pestilence away,
Too many whens and too many whys even.
How to get to the top,
Light bending in quantum gravity,
Grinding on human nerves a little long.

What high mysteriarch,
Humanity entering into Jericho,
The Earth in its splendor shall all give in.
Breaking the silence,
Near the Sea of Tranquility,
To print foot-steps on moon any other night.
In the unknown and noted orbs,
Radiance and coupling spectrum,
Supernovas chasing the lunar landing craft.
Inside a black hole,
Stability of the Cauchy horizon,
Spark of speech from spirit's tinder here.
Natural aesthetic,
Turning celestial spectra outliers,
Into pure fountains and Wild Palms?

多丽 中秋那夜
作者:何威廉

时空曲,
海翁倒见秋湾。
粒波重、
曾经化境,
五维紫凤星团。
认依稀、
亘天玳瑁,
素蟾羞对内循环。
时露时藏,
忽升悠降,
杳冥游荡把情悬。
夜潮涨、
风疏时气,
领掇碎琼璇。
凝睛久、
绵缠量子,
如幻尘烟。

广寒游、
携相对论,
地心肌力茫然。
射飞舟、
魄心解转,
去来毋必月还圆。
象意星文,
非常声谱,
嫦娥认辨太虚宽。
黑洞里、
柯西视界,
寻意识殊源。
心如水、
云津后会,
流去谁边?
