I met a man this evening,

With motive and mysteries,

There seems nothing missing,

He was blunt and silently speaking.

 

It seems all right,

I stayed for a while,

Looking at his eyes,

Listened to his low voice.

 

Suddenly where is he ?

I haven’t moved at all,

Was it a dream,

Or I am dead like my dream.
