The Moon Sails Across the Sky

The last two days
It was pouring with rain;
I did not enjoy the days all soaking wet.
It left me feeling listless and depressed
And the world looked washed out.

The Shattered Visage

My dearly beloved parents
Live in my memory.
Now that they are dead,
They are beloved parents.
I failed to appreciate their parental concern
When they were alive.

And I have seen my children growing up
Like flowers starting to open in the morn…
