a poet on the cruise
A young poet who lives in nowhere was invited by his friends to vacation on a cruise ship. He looked at the moon and wrote that he is a cloud in the moon. He looked at the night sea and realized that God lives in everyone’s heart. he was like a seagull wearing a hard hat, flying in the world of inspiration in his mind, the musician he met when he was a child, wrapped the notes with leaves, and went on a dream trip with him.

The Chinese poet tried to look back to the past of human beings, look into the civilization of the universe and look forward to the future of the earth. He wrote down the melancholy lines, but regained his happiness when he was sharing his lunch with the birds and being in the nature.
The poet lived in the world like air, with no shape, being a part of everything, a splash of water, a piece of feather, or a crumb of bread.
