Chapter 29 "Cloud Tour"
"Cloud Tour"
That day you were floating in the sky,
Easy, light, you didn't want to stay
In the other side of the sky or the corner of the earth,
Thy joy is unhindered freedom,
You are more inadvertently on the humble ground
There are first-class streams, although your bright
Dyeing his ethereal in passing,
Wake him up with a start, hold your shadow close.
What he embraces tightly is the dense sorrow,
For beauty cannot stand still in the landscape;
He wants, you have flown over the mountains of ten thousand,
Go to the wider lake and sea to cast shadows!
He is wasting away for you, that stream of water,
In impotent hope, longing for you to fly back!
