Stray Birds
Sometimes I feel rather weary and depressed after studying hours and hours. One of my friends recommands me a book [i]Stray Birds, [/i]written by the [i]Rabindranath Tagore[/i]. I am greatly aborbed in the beautiful sentences and romantic world that it brings me into. I feel peaceful.1
[color=#c2630c]Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.[/color]
[color=#5c1c84]夏天的飞鸟，来到我的窗前，歌唱，又飞走了。[/color]
[color=#c2630c]And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no song, flutter and fall there with a sigh.[/color]
[color=#5c1c84]秋天的黄叶，它没有什么曲子可唱，一声叹息，飘落在地上。[/color]

[/color][color=#e1723c]世界上一队小小的流浪者啊，在我的字里行间留下你们的足迹吧！[/color]
[/color]
[color=#5c1c84][color=black]Time flies and the world keeps changing, just as the stray birds of summer and yellow leaves of autumn. We may be vagrant for all our lives, but please don't forget all that we will have experienced. [/color][/color]

Desert and grass are doomed to have no good ending. No matter how fiecely desert loves grass, grass chases for mile climate. Sometimes we have to learn to refues, specially when someome show strong affection on u but he simply is not your type. Unluckily, I understand it too late. [color=#e4632c]6[/color]
[color=#e4632c]If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
[/color][color=#2d8217]如果你因错过太阳而哭泣，那么你也会错过群星了。[/color]
This is one of the most famous sentences in Stray Birds, which may be offen heard a lot from TV, magazines, essay etc. I once wrote it in my notebook to remain myself of cherishing everything that I already had.
Peace. [color=#0e39ad]7[/color]
[color=#0e39ad]The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the [/color][url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/burden][color=#0000ff]burden[/color][/url][color=#0000ff][/color][color=#0e39ad]of their lameness?
[/color][color=#84942c]舞动的流水啊，在你途中的泥沙，正乞求你的歌声，你的舞蹈呢！你是否肯背负跛足的泥沙向前奔腾？[/color]

I wanna to tell u guys I am proud of u. [color=#5097de]Her wishful face [/color][url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/haunts][color=#0000ff]haunts[/color][/url][color=#0000ff][/color][color=#5097de]my dreams like the rain at night.

[/color][color=#1d9e16]有一次，我们梦见彼此竟是陌生人。醒来时，才发现我们本是亲密无间。[/color]
Once we were dear to each other. We find that we are strangers. This is all I wanna say when reading it.
Keep pace with the others.
I am totally at lost in my peaceful world. A little bit upset and depressed. Life is always harder than it seems to be. [color=#55730f]Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent trees.
[/color][color=#ad9d0e]忧伤在我心中沉静下来，宛如降临在寂静山林中的夜色。[/color]
It describes all my feelings. I am gonna to stop posting poems in Stray Birds for a period of time, for I am a little bit too fussy to enjoy these beautiful poems. Marvellans sentenses and words make me even more sensitive while I need to consider everything in a logical and reasonable way.
