Starkness of the Sky
Vultures, eagles, and dragons seem to rule;
Have tigers entered the kingdom of deer?
I feel like I'm drowning in my own pool.
Why does the bright sun seem to be unclear?
Wolves are trying to hunt roosters and chicks;
No parrots and parakeets are safe here.
Are crocodiles and whales planning new tricks?
Each step seems to be a graveyard of fear.
Fear envelops like the winter darkness;
Is fear eating up nature's credence zones?
Does the sky care to bear the earth's starkness?
Flesh decayed, fields are filled with broken bones.
Why do blossoms of the soul fade in the frost,
While on cosmic seas, the shattered sail is tossed?
