Each Rock is A Potala Palace
By Hongri Yuan
Translated by Yuanbing Zhang

The sunshine is mellow wine
and there are golden palaces inside the sun.
Where a giant is its master,
he told me that I was his shadow on the earth.

I will still be much greater, like a mountain,
each rock is a Potala Palace.
And the epics I chanted came from billions of years ago,
there are huge number sweet of homes beyond the Milky way.
