(a poem of condolence for a beloved friend)
(n206)
.
the withering of a tall tree,
it comes again as another.
snow covers grass,
spring gives life to the blades.
.
i lost a baby once,
my beloved son came.
the heat discomforted me,
it was replaced by a strong breeze
.
i lost a pet,
it shall return to me as king charles....
i died once,
and returned to me as starlight.
.
