                   ABOUT FLOWER

 

 

 

       1

 

Sometimes I went to a mountain quietly

to pick a few yellow flowers only

not more than

 

But being that again

I missed the mankind space

Some petals have fallen on the old way

I see me lonely come back

nothing said

 

       2

 

I wander about the flower streets

nobody to meet

 

Flowers are full bloom by the sandy bay

nothing to say

 

Cloud has been afloat to the forest

Only faded scent is dimming

into my stillness

 

       3

 

Who can know when I’ll return

since the dust has brought me on its back

over the song of time

beneath the color of moss

no period.
