A small boat traverses through the storm,
Soaring between rivers.
Looking upwards,
I wonder,
What direction will the wind blow?
The water in turmoil, waves sweeping with rage.
The cheerful carols of songbirds fade away,
Replaced by wailing silence.
Alas! A confusing fire, an inexplainable world.
Following the direction of light,
Waiting for dawn to arrive,
Searching for home.
Looking forward to the gentle embrace of dawn.
Perhaps,
One day,
The fish will spring out of the black water,
And the harsh winter will pass,
And spring will welcome itself back.
The rain stop waltzing,
The fire soothed,
The flowers blooming,
The sun lit?
The white clouds are dashing,
The sky bleeds crimson,
Now the birds prepare to gather and rot.
Our lens flawed with cracks; our thoughts tarnished by desperation.
In this colorful world,
Who can distinguish right from wrong?
Dawn slowly seeps through the impressionable night.
Yet somehow,
The light still seems so distant.
Crossing the canal,
all that is left is an informal cemetery.
