Oh, little dragon!

Cute, yet caged.

Why are red?

Why you crying?


Blink, blink.

Hi, Mr.Dragon .

Why am I red? Why shouldn’t I?

Snobb, snobb.


Sniff, sniff.

Grandpa told,

“When there’s light, there’s life”.

My fire gives light, I’m life.





Then why you crying? Life breather?

When the moonlight touching you?

When the seagull singing? For you?

Even the oceans waving at you.


Sniff, sniff.

I give life. Can share laughs.

The nights, wring my neck.

After the sunset, my heart closes.
