Rating: 5.0


behind the mountains
evening sun will rest tonight
sadness will emerge,
playing melancholy song
keeping me awake whole night

Beautiful, beautiful. That speaks for a lot of us. So simply expressed but these words carry a lot of weight.10

After birth death comes like after morning sun rises and rests in West for sunset. This is wise humor that talks about life...10
