Birds are chirping

Leaves in garden fading

Room upstairs in the distance brightening

Cars in unison, asphalt under, tiers are rolling

No starry sky, only a faint trace of white

No idea if I could call it clouds

Missing the moon in the fairy tales

In a trance, I heard the voice of talking

the children who are crying, the adults who are educating

Back to the forest’s alley nine years’ leaving

I am four and a half, running among fallen leaves

This is actually an attempt to translate one of my Chinese work(done about 1.5 years ago) into English, while trying to maintain its original meaning also ensure the words rhyme.
