THE MOON, THE BAMBOO, AND THE BEE

HGC

In silent night when rest I took,

When grief in my heart I did not look,

I wakened with the rustling sound,

The bamboo murmured as the Moon looms with mocking laugh.

I started up, when the Bee hovered by, under the Moon’s watchful eyes,

Frightened, yet belligerent under the gloom of night,

Imprisoned on its blinding light,

Under the drizzling rain the sight reminds my pain.

My mournful heart felt the pain,

The Bamboo, the Moon, and the Bee had shared the same,

Hatred sprouts from somewhere I did not care,

All of us is imprisoned in this despair.

Realized, I did, what ramifications of this paradox were for?

How much of my pain is in their sacrifice?

How much of love is their hatred?

How much of me is in them?
