I wonder if it's because

I haven't been able to be
outdoors for so long

that I've grown so crazy about everything to do with nature.
我 想知道 是否 因为
我 长 时 间 无 法 出 门

我变得对与大自然有关的
一切事物都无比狂热。
I can well remember

that there was a time when
a deep blue sky,the song of
the birds,
moonlight
and flowers
could never
have kept
me spellbound.
so impressed by
something that you
do not pay attention
to anything else.

was there
A time when a deep
blue sky,the song of the birds,
moonlight and flowers could
never have kept me spellbound.
