Mumbling sand

Sound Design by Chuyu Liu

You were roaming in the shadows of sand that night,

Seeking traces left by a string of sparkles.

You believe it must have happened,

As some residue of digitized particles.


Before the universe's entropy reached its peak,

Before imagination got swept into an explosion,

It must be approaching us with a rhythm of breath,

Drawing near and then away.


It must be coerced into the torrent of memory,

From this cycle to the next.


You always care about some fleeting sighs.

When traversing vast seasons,

You soar with migratory birds,

Accompanied by ancient raindrops.


When the sunlight reaches the tips of your hair,

You leap into the next century 

again.


You might feel lost,

For these continuous leaps that cannot be smoothed,

For the crevices of stones that cannot be deconstructed,

But you might not regret in the end,

For sand and stone always echo the same.
