Requiem I

There goes a shadow without substance, the shadow never has been lived in anyone’s heat goes out to the boundless wilderness, and that’s why the footmarks the shadow leaves behind in the wilderness are filled full of loneliness. When a drifting cloud whiles over the shadow, the poor shadow dissolves into the empty air. The footmarks the shadow left behind are shivering with fear. When such clouds come together and covers the sky the clouds sprinkle rain, as time passes, the cloud becomes a downpour and hits the earth. The gathered rain water forms a torrent and dashes to the lowlands carrying everything on the earth, the footmarks of the shadow also swept away by the water. Although the rain stops, the clouds clear and the sun appears in the sky, there is no shadow or footmarks to be found in the wilderness any more. Only those raindrops reflecting the sun rolling on the wilderness as if teardrops moaning.
