A village quiet
Lights the lights
A city noisy
Lights the lights
Obviously, they embody different meanings
We speak with everyday tongues
But often vaguely
That quiet man
lives in his own village
He feeds chickens and raises sheep
feeds fishes in the pond
Growing a flower means
keeping butterflies flying
That world belongs to him only
All sounds there
are carried through inwardly
Outsiders can’t hear anything
even when standing by him
even when the man
answers outsiders’ questions
using every day terms
with a smile on his face, saying
this is the meaning of culture
From what happens there inside
You can say that is a religion
Or you can say that is a poem
