The grass will be less tender in the land behind the hills
therefore the north is too green.
Nothing can stop me,
only my heart, for what it has and has had
that needs to get settled, it did not lack anything.

therefore the South is too dry.
But the serene life,
makes me silent and in that sound without noise,
my name will resemble me more,

and a square cloud is guided by a full moon
When the space under trees

When day and night share their colours with us
and a human carries its child through this world,
let me paint it,
for that’s how I see.
