Embracing the Wind

Now I am standing here in a valley
looking at steep hills surrounding it, speechless.
I have named the valley \"the valley of self-betrayal\",
and the hills \"the hills of suicide\". That’s it!
I embrace nobody but the wind. Not bad!
In the dark clouds sweeping the valley,
I see a hypocritical couple in false harmony
marching with laughter towards the end of a kiss.
The man loves poison, while the woman loves honey.
Why should I sacrifice my mind for an inferno?
I know that I am still embracing the wind
And trying to persuade her to sing me a song.
Embracing the wind, I don’t break any human law;
embracing the wind, I can do it without self-betrayal.
As I embrace the wind, I am no longer a prisoner.
