Monotonous Solitude

Standing on the road alone
Shadow is fading into the atmosphere
And disappearing into the universe
Puddles are reflecting the sky
I found myself standing there

I didn’t realize that I was alone
The wind agitated the sky in the puddles
I disappeared into the universe
I forgot how many years passed
After I found myself in a puddle

Forgetting and being forgotten
I lost my shadow from my memory
The shadow was a shadow, not reality
Stepping into the sky in a puddle
I am trying to connect to myself
