Three Boats

These three boats...
Me, my silence and loneliness...
Always ride the cloud nine...
Their masts closed...
The bars outreach the sky...
Their stillness
Pierces their shadows
Deep down the bottom...
The silence envelopes
The overwhelming fog
Of desires popping up...
And the loneliness
Takes hand in hand
And surrogates its warmth...
The three make a unity
And ride the evening...
