A raindrop crystal
Glimmering on a petal
Red, orange, green, blue and purple.
It was really a pearl.
...
Sad
The past bad
With lots of thoughts in my head
And no one I had.
...
Bright
The moonlight.
I sighed at the long long night
And leaned at bed, quiet.
...
Howl, howl, howl, wild wind blows - oh!
Hiss, hiss, hiss, rain falls hard - oh!
Wild winds make withered branches break
Hard dropped rain makes rotten leaves shake
...
Today you will take the flight
Above the clouds with height
Beyond my limited sight.
...
What a great delight
To behold your gracious smile
In my serene sight
Many, many a while.
...
The girlish sentimental willow,
Dances in the brilliant glow,
The nameless smiling flower,
Blossoms near Yangtze River.
...
What is the thing I call "I"?
I cannot see clearly with any eye.
Is it a figure
...
The Rattling autumn rain
Break up my sound sleep
In the cool night deep.
...

Raindrop
A raindrop crystal
Glimmering on a petal
Red, orange, green, blue and purple.
It was really a pearl.
A raindrop crystal
Drowned itself in a ripple.
But the ripple was soon invisible.
It will not be a pearl.
