Ch'I-Yen-Shih Metre - I Am Brave
i chase the sun, on bare feet.
one thought i have, the sun stays.
no cloud to hide, my dim route,
for death, it hides, feel it's gaze!
one day I walk, smooth ground run.
mind rocks and sand, the track hides
eyes seek out cracks, could mean some
food, tum needs grub, each step bides
i have cool drinks, streams quench thirst.
a time to rest, i must think
a cold front seen, yet well far,
i hear it roar, cloud still pink
the storm now close, a cave seen
dark clouds a flash, in the cave
safe sleep it calls, next day waits
it comes no sun, i am brave!
