Dad leaves me a right eye
With which one second can be turned into a long period of time
Whether it is true
Dad told me that's ten thousand years
No one has ever lived for so long
For the life is too short
During which we can only do little
Whether we like or dislike
Death shows us how life goes
Everyone's dream belongs to God
The dream of life
God calls it back at any time
No one shall reject
While I'm so lucky to own such a magical eye
Once I pick it up from my dark heart
Every thing gets frozen
Every plant, every animal and every man
They move slowly, being almost still
Fortunately, I get the chance to escape from the trying life
Telling myself that I can do anything I like
Wrong or right
No laws and no rules
Neither do I eat nor I sleep
Breath held while heart skips a beat
For all within one second
Excitedly, I own the longest dream
I sing till my voice goes hoarse
I read countless kinds of books in which as long as I'm interested
I watch TV programmes online till my eyes fail me
I write thousands of poems just as now what I'm doing
About several months pass
I begin to think of my time
I sit in the silent sun
While I can't feel the light touch
Warmth is gone
Dad just left me alone
My only companion is myself
Wind refuses to speak
While how can I smell the roses?
How can I feel mum's love and how can I share secrets with my intimates?
How?
How can I escape from the endless loneliness?!
Ten thousand years - what a terrible figure!
All at once, I burst into tears
Which will never come about in real world because of sadness
During the following weeks, I just cry
Cry for my dark sky
The day finally arrives when my right eye returns
"Just live your own life," said dad in the heaven
A cold river flows through my heart
I begin to realize that I've been free all the time
Though there might be no freedom in front of time
Yet my life is my life
