THE CLOUDBURST

With my hopeful dreams

I decorated the cosmos;

By means of my smile

I made the sky bejeweled

I myself sent a thousand

Messengers, the wind, and sunbeams

The rain and the moon shower

To show my deeper love

And to invite you

And I waited impatiently

For your return

But came back they one by one

Unable to see you

You were hiding somewhere

And I let the clouds

To envelop my whole dreams

The firmament got dark with mist

But I still wait for the messengers

Here the last one too comes

Oh! But empty handed!

I let the clouds to burst out

To cool my hopeless dreams
