In My Solitude

Here I stand
facing the crimson sea; 
My bare feet 
deeply mounted~ 
on the silken shore
as the creeping sun
like an ember ensconcing~
on distant islets
leaving a warm afterglow.

Alas, my heart is as cold 
as the gust of winds
caressing my hair
making it sway 
like that of Pocahontas.
