I was there



I was there when the sun gave birth to the day.
I was there was the rainfall guest came visiting.
I was there when the sun smiled not at the rains.
I was there when their conflict invited the leaves to sing.
Then I thought my being there was a luck to learn a song from the singing leaves!
