Alone and Alone

At that moment, when I stood on the shore
It seemed that I was A representative of mankind
Facing the time passing by no words or no doing            

Frankly, there is  pointless to say a word
or at all time to do anything            
So, just waiting quietly for it going by,
And waiting for the clear turns to be clear,
And the turbid remains to be turbid.            

The years of the river are endless  flowing
Day and night, washing all matters except me            
Leaving me behind on the shore, knowing nothing
To say,  to change
