Running along Lake Yangcheng of Suzhou in a Misty Afternoon

suesu

It was a late afternoon on a business trip
Arriving at a hotel next to the famous Lake Yangcheng
Beautiful water lies alongside the road
With unknown birds flying above

Breathtaking tranquility ceased the moment
Leaving everything behind I ran
Quickly and slowly and out of sweat
Falling raindrops rhymed with my running steps

No expectations nor fantasies
This close encounter of the first time
Same mood with various feelings
Similar running at different places

Weeping willows swung gently in the breeze
Silence was the language that we all spoke
Where have all the people gone
In this kingdom by the Lake

Up and down the slopes I ran
Fresh air mixed with grassy smell
Wishing all my friends could have joined me
Running together in this laid-back Yangcheng Lake

Thanks for your feedback upstairs. Hope one day we can organize a team and run together there. It's only one hour away from Shanghai. By the way, if you like my poem, here's another one in Chinese http://www.yiqipao.com/thread-6197-1-3.html

Suesu, you're making beautiful advertisement for Yangcheng Lake. This could be a nice running event during the weekend by Yiqipao, together with FB afterwards.
