Poem - Sit Inside Time

Poem _ Sit Inside Time

我端坐在时光里

作者：碑林路人

This short video is a reading of the poem - just a moment to breathe, feel, and rest.

I sit quietly inside time.

Time -

still as the wind of a summer night—

moves softly as I flip through a book.

Suddenly, I see my younger self,

those clear, bright eyes of youth,

white clouds drifting vividly within them.

I rise, pour tea, then sit again.

With the tranquil wind,

I sit in stillness, thinking of time.

The slanted sunlight slips past my shoulder

and quietly fades.

I don’t know who

spilled moonlight into my corner of the room.

I see time smiling.

It reminds me how much beauty I once missed.

Suddenly I understand:

what happens outside the window has nothing to do with me.

All I need is to make peace with time.

Tonight, holding a cup of clear tea,

I let the foam of the years

return me to youth.

Tonight, the wind continues its walk.

Time keeps smiling -

and I finally understand

the warmth hidden behind those years.
