Member Poem

All because of the gap in the wooden ceiling
And beause of this hole in a patched roof.
Because life with freedom has enthused
And flown away in the direction unknown.

They say that like a rainbow, hung for a moment,
Which is a harbinger of good weather after rain
And it had wings colorful like butterflies
- Of such an unusual ordinary beauty.

They say it had charming veil
Like morning fog over a blossomed meadow
And it looked as a happy bird
resembling so much the larks over the heavens.

Then on a field willow it sat
And having sung... it vanished.
