It's 3:00 P.M.
the land is now in spring, where
beautiful flowers and wild tares
grow, side by side; it’s 3:00 p.m.
when my spirits stopped
wandering…and listens to the echoes
of immortalities
as the passing wind sighs
between the past and the future
between the heaven and the earth
thou, I was not there, when
the land
spilled out and died, ‘cos of hatred
and greediness
and self ambition; but
i am here, right now
lying, silently, with a cul-de-sac
as my pillow, on this grassy field
thanking them…and thinking…
what life would be, without them---
the fallen whisperers, who gave themselves
for us, to breathe this afternoon air?
