The Contemporary Age
In spontaneity, I let my plights
Flow like the first streak of moonlight.
Amazed and wonder, I cast
To the teary eyes
Courage cancels suffocation
How long the endurance can keep up?
The awe-inspiring world
Has fear in its pocket.
I see a tight-rope walker
Every falling fear, the audience notices
Such is the world
And I am still weaving narratives.
I take this liberty to
Make pains visible and soothe.
In endurance the grave does not wake up
Assertive, I am my own guest
to dance in the first spring,
to wake up beside the street garden.
Nature is what I see,
Not devoid of pure souls.
The guest of honor
Reads the morning news
And is hired by the contemporary age.
