An Experience
Time disappears silently
Carried away by the running water
But the heart sinks
To the bottom of a river
Hurting you like a sand paper
Scrubbing your pride and bravery away
Sorrow arises like the riverside bamboo
One rim above another
High though the river soaring
It will fall again
Green though the leaf 's colour
It will fade away
Not every bud will blossom in a vase
Before it dies
The leaf only rustles
When the breeze is on arrival
Let chew your painful experience
For the last time
Like chewing a betei leaf
And then spitting it away
Tear a page from the calendar
Like a falling leaf
Then to have a brand new page a day
Like a new leaf
Appearing on the shoot for the day
