In the Middle of Night I Am . . .

. . . writing a poem of dawn
Precipice of midnight is transforming into sea of dawn
Life is quietly changing itself
A brush of red is sticking out from the obscure green
Bringing great joy to the roosters
Such begins the noise of one day
Black letters on the white papers are fading
Just as the sporadic sound of a cricket is lost in the hastening chirps of birds
In my fantasy, only the sea is the true serenity of the earth
In my fantasy, only the sea is tIt heroically plays
With the few pieces left on the chess board who are battling to death
Yet always ending in
Yet always ending in a draw
