A Child Walking in the Field (Poem)

A little child who was told by his father; "go away"! was walking in the field without the leading star. People who has been living in the city and has forgot the field, could the child get the love of Holy Mother who you love? He fell in love with a piece of the moonlight which reflected on the lake and was excited by the unknown feeling. Kill the monk who looks so serious on woman’s belly! His gold cloth is only important. The woman who can give out the light except for the fixed star saw the child off, and then wrote some secret words with flowing water for him. If you see the words, your eyes will be burnt, if you hear the words, your ears will break. The secret is the poison, the poison is the power. “Say good-bye at the light moment, or you will repent,” the woman said, but her words looks like the rain that cheats women working in the pasture in the evening, or looks like the troth of a night will be forgot in the morning. The child has believed that his destination was written on her secret words, but it is just like making the fire. Don’t forget the field.
