Two Birds and the White Roses

Two birds
Fly in front of my window every day
Next to my window 
In the White rose bushes
Singing and dancing

 
When the Sun arises
I am lazily lying in the bed
Hear them singing
Then I see the hope and laughter in life

When the twilight comes 
I compassion for the beauty of the sunset 
Pity for it is near dusk
See their dances
Then I feel that life is glorious
From sunrise to twilight 
From birth to death 
Like a travel 
From the beginning to the end 
With singing and dancing 
On the way 

When it is raining 
I can not see their shadows
Only hear their songs 
They are standing side by side under the roofs
Sniffing the fragrance of the White roses far faraway from the window 
I see the warmth of love
and the power of the beauty 

 
When the daylight fades 
In the golden halo of flash 
surrounded by the peachy sunset glow 
I see them flying away together
With their marvelous wings
into the sky 

They sing and dance in front of my White rose bushes day and day 
Those White pieces of petals are weaving a dream of clothe 
For their beauty and grace 

Until one day
Only one of them comes to my window
He fly around  the White Rose bushes in circle and circle 
Glances from right to the left
Eventually 
He dangles a piece of White petal in his mouth 
Wanders and hesitates 
In the falling sunset 
flying away

Not far, 
His beloved one is lying quietly on the grass,
That White piece of Petal in his mouth with a pure teardrop 
Are landed softly
On his lover's body

From then on
I never see their shadows again
My White rose bushes
Alone 
Waiting in front of my window
So lonely and dreary
