time flies
The west reaches the clothes of new colors
Illustrated with gold and rose
Though the size of clothes rapidly gets smaller
The lingering hues resist and overflow
Not long after a pitch black curtain falls
And the eyes of angles sparkle in the sky
In a glimpse the moon has then been called
May I just cease the time and silently cast a good-bye?
Yet I know the dawn will still rise
Steal the amber and break the hush
Yet I know the time will always go clockwise
Like those hectic bees in a rush
For the reason that I cannot peruse the time,
I will seize grimly and make it into mine.
A Sonnet by Sophie Lin
