Why Is That So

He flies the sky though he is not a bird, 
however, even if I were a bird I know that I would not able to fly in air
because my wings would be broken ones, the wings without a feather 
that enable me to measure the height of sky.

He swims in the water though he is not a fish,
however, even if I were a fish, I know that I would not able to swim in the water
because my fins would be the torn and damaged ones, the fins without strength that enables me to push the water behind.

He runs in the wilderness though he is not a stallion,
however, even if I were a stallion, I know that I would not able to run 
in the wilderness, because my hooves would be in cracked and chipped pieces,
because I would not have a dashing mane or the chest to raise the wind in the wilderness.

Although he is not a man, 
he speaks the word of humankind, 
however, though I am a man, I couldn’t speak a word of humankind.

Although he is not a god he sits in the god’s throne,
however, though I pray with bending knees
and praise the god facing to his throne,
I won’t able to see the god.
