I gaze into the heart, lowly it may be,
Thought the words be higher still.
For the heart is all the substance,
The speech an accident.
How many phrases will you speak,
Too many for me.
How much burning, burning will you feel,
Be friendly with the fire, enough for me.
Light up the fire of love inside,
And blaze the thoughts away.

At The Twilight
At the twilight, a moon appeared in the sky;Then it landed on earth to look at me. Like a hawk stealing a bird at the time of prey;That moon stole me and rushed back into the sky. I looked at myself, I did not see me anymore;For in that moon, my body turned as fine…
