The years of my life pass,
I have already climbed most of my mountains.
The world I wanted to see has shrunk,
Now I enjoy watching the nearby fountains.
So many beautiful places I will never visit,
I now like to stay at home when it is cold.
So many rivers, cities, lakes, and undiscovered seas,
Life is short, and I realised, I cannot have the world.
Walking down familiar street brings me joy,
Although in my dreams, I can still travel a long distance.
Staying on the known road feels warm and comfortable,
Aging has brought me peace; years have numbed my persistence.
