Below the sun,
His starched valley
Seems starving with happiness
Running
Like a kid
I feel the sound
Life lifting me
Among the leaves of a petal…
The fear slaps
The flow of the birds
Under the golden shadow
While underneath it,
I am waiting.
In this mountain
The barefoot are digging heavily
Over the wide, narrow view!
