I Am Not Afraid
If I have so much courage, why am I afraid?
That is like that cowardly firefly
Here and there, the excluded, scattered light points
Do you know the reason?
This bio-luminescence of the cowardly firefly is actually
A youth’s determination to revolt
One of the inevitable attractions in the game of light,
To transcend is almost impossible
The wild partridge knows, the tribal girl knows,
Knows the deep forest
The evening knows, the hills and grasslands,
The wind knows, the rain knows
And a woman firefly knows the best
Does anyone else know that?
