Love and loneliness
One day, a star said to the crescent in the sky,
"How do the people of our homeland admire you so beautifully?"
The crescent replied, "I have learned the ways of love and union,
But you are distant from it, suffering in foreign lands."
The star said, "I am also not happy with this homeland,
They see me as just a light of a distant future."
The crescent replied, "These people are intoxicated with love without equal,
But you do not share in their joys and happiness."
The star said, "I am lost in the imagination of my own time,
I have seen once, the flowers stained with blood."
