Kapok blooming

There is a good wood in the south

There is a good wood in the south

Its name is kapok

--The inscription

Kapok

An unfamiliar name

I heard it is a red flower

How like the girl in my dream

I can't remember how many times

I closed my eyes and carefully depicted

Her outline

In my dreams

She filled my heart with flowers

Since then, she has become my ideal

And it became a bond in my heart that I could never erase

Finally, one day, I picked up my bag to go far away

The sky was still blue after the rain

The sunlight of the small southern town hit my body

The same scene as in my dream

I stood under a tree full of red flowers

I looked up and saw

The flowers bloom for a season

But the flowers fall on one side

The red flowers are planted in my heart

In this good time of spring

Spread into ten miles of red makeup

The unbridled red in my eyes

Dyeing into a kind of faith

Such beauty

Would you like to see the long flow of water

Watch the flowers bloom and fall together
