Destiny
The old port has been waiting
The vessel has gone away, unreturned
Melancholic whistling wind shakes
Rows of cherry blossom impoverished
The course of thoughtless water flow
Flow far away
Like time, never comes back
Long, winding roads
Thousands of miles across earth
Dense with clouds and waters
Life
Starts anew
Yet seems lost at a far distance
Now
Beloved country
Has become estranged
A drop of water
Has flown from the reservoir
The sound of waves washing ashore
Seemingly reminds
That someone’s been waiting on the other side
Of the globe
Those sad eyes engulfed in tears
Praying and begging for his return
Evening
Quietly, watch the seagulls fly
To their warmth of nests
The shadow of sunset
Casts its shade,
Evading my life
