      Weigh (Poem Collection) - You-Sheng Chen

      The Way They Go

      Be it sunrise or sunset

      Never does the Sun fail to proceed its way

      The way of its warmth in spring,

      The way of its coldness in winter

      Be it full or wane

      Never does the Moon fail to proceed its way

      The way of its brightness at full

      The way of its shyness at wane

      Be it clear or cloudy

      Never do the stars fail to its proceed its way

      The way of its shine in the clear sky

      The way of its latency in the cloudy sky

      Be it a good or a bad year

      Never do the plants and animals proceed their way

      The way of their effort to grow in a good year

      The way of their endurance to get through a bad year

      Be it in high or low spirits

      Never do people proceed their way ordained by the Heaven, God!

      Neither can I find their mercy to the Mother Nature

      Just leave the deserted land weeping inconsistently

      Painting

      About painting

      What I know about are textures, veins, colors

      About composition

      What I know are points, lines, and planes

      Paint it with purified textures

      Paint it with fleshy veins

      Paint it with lifelike colors

      Arrange your composition with firm points

      Arrange your composition with streamy lines

      Arrange your composition with broad planes

      But without the effort from your true soul

      How can it be your painting

      But without your soul

      How can your life to be constituted

      Be your life delightful or sad

      It's just like a painting you create

      Despite your brilliant hope for this painting

      I can find the shades in the dark corner at your painting

      Despite your wonderful expectation in life

      I can find your dejection in your unhappy hour

      Let alone your sophisticated skills in painting

      Let alone your sincere devotion to your life

      Let alone the shiny and colorful parts in your painting

      Let alone
