Hill through the Window

It was early in the morning,

I looked out from the window

And stared at the hill.

The trees, of different shades of green:

Forest green, pine green, olive green.

It was such a calming sight

Until a patch of red caught my eye.

Out of the sea of green, it stood out.

It made the view less pleasant, less delightful,

Just like those who are talented or successful.

The atmosphere always becomes uncomfortable

When they are around for a chat.

It is nighttime,

Too dark to see anything.

The boundary between the sky and the hill

Is vague and dim, nearly unable to be seen.

It seems like the sky is engulfing the hill

When the sun is away so that no one notices.

Sneakily and quietly, the sky enjoys its feast.

It becomes a gigantic, terrifying beast,

An unbearable sight.
