Use trees as flowers, dreams as horses, and wander around the world. This internet signature, which may come from some non-mainstream teenagers, is not a poem, but just a few words put together.

"Let us use dreams as horses and love as flowers, and run from the cold winter to midsummer. Let's wait for the flowers to bloom in the desert." This is the lyrics of "Use Dreams as Horses and Love as Flowers" by Su Qing. The phrase "Dreams are Horses" comes from Haizi's poem "Dreams are Horses".

Using dreams as horses means using your dreams as the direction and motivation to move forward. Horse here refers to motivation and also means hope. The horse, a strong and beautiful animal, is used as a carrier of hope, carrying inner ideas and dreams, and providing inner support for future life.

Extended information:

"Dreams are Horses" is a famous poem by Haizi. "Using Dreams as Horses: Selected Classic Poems of Haizi" was published by Beijing October Literature and Art Publishing House in March 2016.

This poem contains three levels. The first level (the first two sections) writes the poet's basic stance. Poets pursue lofty and grand goals, "I want to be a loyal son from afar"; throughout their lives, due to their strong and noble beliefs, their concrete daily lives are barren, but they do not take this seriously. Material is short-lived, and it is not worthy of our diligent pursuit and every penny. So the poet said that he is only a "temporary lover of material".

The second level (sections 3 and 4) is about the poet's feelings. Understanding of language. The poet is a person who deeply meditates on language as the "home of existence" (Heidegger's words). The poet is aware of the obscured situation of language, the possibility of clarification and improvement, and through salvation. Language creates the realistic basis for spiritual development. Therefore, the understanding of language is related to the understanding of survival and life.

The third level (sections 5-9) is about the great ambition of the poet and his understanding of life. A premonition of a miserable fate. Here, the poet emphasizes that he is a son of the earth. Facing the soil of the motherland that haunts his dreams, he bends down deeply, "with irresistible death." "speed", but the earth will last forever and will nurture endless life.
