It's 3:00 P.M.

the land is now in spring, where 
beautiful flowers and wild tares 
grow, side by side; it’s 3:00 p.m.

when my spirits stopped 
wandering…and listens to the echoes 
of immortalities

as the passing wind sighs
between the past and the future
between the heaven and the earth

thou, I was not there, when 
the land
spilled out and died, ‘cos of hatred 

and greediness 
and self ambition; but
i am here, right now

lying, silently, with a cul-de-sac 
as my pillow, on this grassy field
thanking them…and thinking…

what life would be, without them--- 
the fallen whisperers, who gave themselves
for us, to breathe this afternoon air?
