Summer Evening Sky
In the colorful western sky,
A single ray of sunlight breaks through.
After the evening rain has passed,
I notice the scent of summer.
The shimmering light shines bright,
If I listen closely to my thoughts,
I can hear the echoes of friends.
The summer evening sky is fragrant,
Vivid memories of days gone by.
We laughed freely from the heart,
Oh, those summer memories.
In the colorful lanterns,
A peaceful summer festival,
The sound of bells ringing out,
Makes my heart flutter inside.
The chirping cicadas sing,
As I walk alone in the gentle rain,
The memories of brighter days return.
Softly, in my ear,
Whispers of days gone by,
Those nostalgic times,
Just like they were, unchanged,
Still live on in my heart.
What we protect as humans,
What we learn as people,
The precious words spun by my late grandfather,
Are held deep within my chest.
The summer evening sky is fragrant,
Vivid memories of days gone by.
Just like those times, unchanged,
The warmth seeps through me.
Oh, those summer memories.
