The River

The resonance of Time's ticking is unbearable!
Once you appeared on the warm and soft riverbed
Years passed stealthily
The 'elfin pinnace' glided on and on
The echoing life slowly engulfed you to a hallucinating slumber

And then

Left on the arid banks 
Where even the carcasses of buffaloes rot disdainfully
You stare at yourself, shocked and wide awake...
