The Red Tree   緋紅樹  -- 陳志勇

sometimes the day begins with nothing to look forward to

and things go from bad to worse

darkness overcomes you

nobody understands

the world is a deaf machine

sometimes you wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait but nothing ever happens

then all your troubles come at once

wonderful things are passing you by

terrible fates are inevitable

sometimes you just don’t know what you are supposed to do

or who you are meant to be

or where you are

and the day seems to end the way it began

but suddenly there it is right in front of you bright and vivid quietly waiting

just as you imagined it would be
