Who are you?

Me?
I am a foolish bird!
Perched on the flame tree’s branch,
Madly longing for beloved spring!

Who are you?

Me?
I am a lost shore!
Harboring the hate
Of both tides within myself!

Who are you?

Me?
I am a wayward traveler!
Forgetting the weariness of a thousand years,
Setting forth in search of new paths!

Who are you?

Me?
I am a creature of the night!
Sitting by the bamboo grove,
Dreaming of a moonlit night!

Who are you?

Me?
I am a failed soul!
Having lost everything,
Yet living in hope of a new dawn!

Who are you?

Me?
I am an empty lover!
Drowning and dying,
In the illusion of love!
