All of a sudden

All of a sudden

the world has changed

yesterday was gone

from right outside the windowpane

little magpie never came again

haven’t heard from it for nearly a decade

the call and the song

the grass in the lawn

has wildly grown

into a lofty tree

all of a sudden

the galaxy can shift

time and space change their faces

I’m here on two dimensions

you in three

so-called yang and yin

the variables that we’ll never notice

all of a sudden

we leapfrogged a century

young people at the peak of their prime

playing crazy games online

whilst i like

the age old woods

millions of years of majestic mountains

rivers that maunder

suddenly

it’s been

an eternity.
