蒼穹，翽羽

　　I met a snake. With crowned head and sharp eyes, the snake zigzagged in a gentle way. It looked down and asked me, “Why art thou here?” Somehow, I felt that only honesty can be expressed in front of her. “I came to seek nature.” “Why seek nature when thou art in it?” “I seek great and beautiful nature.” “Thou hast came to seek, thou wilt not get thee nature, for nature is not in thy eyes.”
　　I shed my tears suddenly; I saw my past, present, and future. All the lights are now glowing or shaking as the moment I realized that I’ve been missing them. The scenes in my mind are darkening. I soon lost my eyesight, thrown into the darkness. I reach out, yet nothing can be found. Melody and rhyme appeared in my ears; the melody is made of birds, winds, cars, computers, doors, helicopters, airplanes, beeps, crying, smiling, laughing, winks, and everything. They seemed to have been playing unrepeatedly and continuously for years, while now they are weakening. I entered the realm of silence then. My stretched hands began to revive. I felt hot, cold, breeze, storm from my hands. The sunlight is warming my hands as the night’s touch fondled my fingers. Life is dancing in my palm along with death’s heaviness as water ran over my shoulder and melted metal crawled on my back. All at once, I touched the universe. And, I died.
　　After my death, I arouse in the air. The snakes awaken me carefully. The blue snake approached me, and injected a wave of spring into my arms. The green snake followed him and rebuilt my body with bark colored skins. The winged snake then granted me with three pairs of huge wings. The red snake bestows glowing red eyes on me then began to lead me flying. In the middle of darkness, I began to see the ages glowing ahead. Then I recognized castles which in this height seem like ant hills. I saw the waging of a war; the warriors are like soldier ants defending the workers, and the intruders formed a line to penetrate the enemy. Behind the battlefield, a small box interested me. It was a carriage with six horses, following a knight. The knight is riding another red horse, holding a halberd like a brown stick. The carriage is too small in this distance for me to see inside, it appeared to me like a fast moving insect. The knight looked up, gazing into my eyes. I looked away, and the world changed. The seasons changed in seconds. A mosquito sized airplane slide in front of me. Houses burst out of ground like mushrooms on the trees. The spider webs that are transferring the electrics spread out fast. The cars crawl like beetles between the mushrooms. I looked the city as if looking into a forest. And the red snake devoured the whole world. I returned into darkness.
