Brief Jeourney On That Distant Road
Fumbling in an attic of antic items,
I came across a picture so dusty;
I looked younger without gray hair and deep lines...
caught in that moment unexpectedly!
I sensed that youth was frozen eternally,
when every thought could not escape;
down that long path that looked over the edge:
many chose death instead of being bold.
Wiping joyful tears, I turn the last page
of my brief jeourney on that distant road;
I could have built temples for the sake of vanity,
lauded myself so vainly, but I chose humility.
