They Drowned In The Milky Way

Rating: 5.0


What a glorious morning?
If a blind can see the daybreak and a deaf hear the prayers.
Where a dumb sings the saddest song and a cripple walks to the world's end.
Under the haughty sun and drowsy moon
These innocents were uprooted.
Can a rainbow guide them to a hidden heaven some day?
That particular day they can dance with the twinkling stars.
And the streak meteors come from the mysterious dark sky.

What a lovely piece, my friend, The manner in which you objectify the character by their characteristics is a great poetic ploy and adds well to the piece. To some, who are new to your works I imagine it could appear clumsy, but then, that is their problem. This is truely delightful.
