What do these chinese proverbs mean?
Can anyone help me loosely translate this chinese proverb?
人言人有願, 願至天必成。
願作遠方獸, 步步比肩行。
願作深山木, 枝枝連理生。
Thank you in advance!

It's a poem (not a proverb).
Everyone has wishes. The heavens will grant us our wishes.
I wish we were beasts in far-off lands. Every step we took we would take together.
I wish we were trees deep in the mountains. Every branch of ours would be intertwined.

This is someone proposing to be very close friends or lovers!
If you use a western method of literary analysis, the imagery is sexual: beasts, intertwined.

The first sentence. I did not translate
Want to be your partener like an animal, and always walk together.
Want to be your half like the tree, and we link each other.
