Mirage

 

We are not such as we look:
we walk on earth,
and talk of flying in the sky,
while a boy walking on the rope
thinks about his belly,
balance is essential for him,
while others focus on the bank balance
—
we talk of progress
but we are in the doldrums.

 

 

Humming

 

Life is running
with full speed;
I have no time
to pause and to take rest
—
All bitter things,
change sides,
in the orchard of my mind;
I can`t guess,
the texture of my life,
how it will be.

 

 

Seed

 

He was lying,
on the roadside,
a seed.
In the biting cold,
I took him,
to my house;
I planted him.
He germinated
—
sapling, plant,
then a tree.
Now he is sheltering everyone.

 

 

Their

 

Their dreams,
can be like mine,
but these dreams
are stopped
—
there are cries and shrieks,
of bomb blasts.

Gunpowder is everywhere
—
how can they live
peacefully?

 

 

Untold Melodies

 

O! Autumn,
can you hear,
untold melodies,
lost in the silent corner of the mind?
untold stories,
stored in grandpa`s mind?
All organs become senseless,
the body becomes a corpse,
the voice is mute,
Can you still hear?
O! autumn.
