The Natural Gift

By Cheng Lie

The whole outlook comes from
the wideness that gained after vibrating the wings.
Birds, with a blood of flight
adore sky blue, and take their thirst
to a height with them.

The natural gift is the sky
is a dream that keeps spreading
is the ubiquitous zenith
just like this flock of birds
and any destination they can reach.

天赋

程烈

所有眼界
来自振动羽翼换来的广度。
鸟，禀性飞翔的血统
热爱蔚蓝，并把渴望
一同带上天空。

天赋即天空，
不断铺开的梦
就是无所不在的高度
如同这支族群
可到达一切地方。
