Where only dragons dare to soar

I wrote this poem last year. I really like it, so I asked my friend to help me with the Chinese translation. I was planning to write a Chinese calligraphy using this text, but I did not have enough time to do so, till now. For me, writing calligraphy is always a journey through time and space. I dive into the classics and masterpieces, and search for proper Chinese character forms, to push my calligraphy skills even further. This text took me approximnately 20 hours of research and studies, including writing several drafts with a ballpen. This is the first copy with the ink and brush, but I am sure it is not the last one.

Where the Earth ends
And mind is touched by skies
Where forgotten wisdom sleeps
On a pillow of ancient dreams
Is where they roam free
Unbound like passing clouds
Mighty as gale’s whisper
Above the mountains high

Where time loses its path
Charmed by the echoes of silence
And wind’s memories turn void
Translucent like solar curtains
Is where they glide wild
On wings of pure defiance
Into the mists of never-here
Wide as our ignorance

在遙遠的天邊
精神與宇宙交匯之處
頭枕古老的夢
沉睡著被遺忘的智慧
龍在山頂之間遨遊
像形如流水自由徬徨的雲
一樣奔放 像疾風般呼嘯

停住腳步
任憑時間盡情地隨意流淌
風之記憶變得虛無縹緲
如陽光瀑布般耀眼
龍是自由之化身
展開所謂抵抗現代社會的龍翼
在如人類無知般的廣闊天地
騰空而起

Many thanks to my dear friends, Snow Forest and Terry Chan, for their help with translating and editing of the Chinese text.
