The Two Malta Trees

I was just getting ready to cut down the trees

The two Malta trees I planted four years ago

But there blooms not a single flower from then

I lost my patience and just took the cutter in my hand

‘To be, or not to be, that is the question’

Suddenly like a magic art I saw from both of them

The branches covered with flowers

My heart filled with joy

I stopped and waited for a while

Gradually the tree like the little ball blazed with the Maltas

So many Malta in the trees with the light of green stars

The birds are calling near them

Something heavenly whispers in my ears

The light of my smiling face reflects on them

I just came back to my thought

And found the path

Of the stretching glory in the belly

That comes to light at the time of the natural beauty.
