DIDN'T RECOGNIZE 

their all persuasion, hypnosis of love

corporeal reviviscence,  failed in end

the golden cage remained empty, the 

cradle itself swings, the open door -

asked the reason to moonlight, none 

had looked the flying of blue bird of 

paradise,  shadow floated on western 

sky, very near to crescent moon, amid

the silvery clouds might it flew in the

sketchy land of dreams, the one and

only traveler kept the journey continued,

in the space of illusion several times !

twittering, humming sound of feathers,

perhaps called you, remembered you,

to say the esoteric philosophy of life,

I'm afraid, most probably didn't get -

the message, didn't recognize it, in the

end, moonlight of you door constricted, 

in the lower valley moon sank into the

natural lake of primitive era, your sleepy

eyes only touched the glow of fire flies!
