The Sky
Why does the sky stand still?
Clouds formed during the year of thunder
They turned on the lightning in anger
Then went the other way
But with the noise of such great sorrow
Neither surprised nor upset
It has been quiet for centuries
What a noble attribute is it!
Whether the storm comes or the wind blows
The sky just stood brave
No one could break his courage
Its color does not fade
If man learns from heaven
May he maintain the attribute of humanity, should not be proud of its position
Never spoil his power
Man should live like the sky
He should broaden his heart like heavens
***
At the funeral of emotions
The feeling also came
Shame on the eyes
For there were no tears
How a big coward was soul
It was a distant spectacles suspect of this death
Were words so harsh!
But the victim was “I”
At that innocent death of sentiments
‘I’ was standing quietly.
