Illusion By Huilan All of a sudden The lake water is dead My mind is fickle Half in rain and half under the sun My soul is loafing around the world And time is static Then I can hear my breath And my heart palpitating This nihilistic world strangely echoing It awakes, and dreams again I hear a song in every sound I see shadows Like hawks flying overhead Soaring to great heights Then I light a candle And imaging those drops of wax Originally were my own tears For a while I dream I’m on a mountaintop But at night I slip into the valley I must let the candlelight shine on me As it previous life which Makes me forget the darkness Then I could wake again To the sun Or a new day Everything is beautiful Outside of my window The rain of spring never stops The curtain of night is boundless |
