# Spark

## English

**Spark**

I reach for faces, eyes that stray,
their fleeting glances turn fast away
a desert thirst, no rain, no stream,
this yearning lives on borrowed dream

the world reflects, but never stays,
its shallow mirrors cast a haze.
the gods may watch, then look no more,
a fragile spark the dark devours

## 中文

**烛**

揽影寻眸目自移，
匆匆一瞥暗归离。
孤沙久渴云无信，
借梦成痕恨未息。

世间光影易成虚，
镜水空明似雾初。
天神一顾终无语，
微烛难拒夜深书。
