Angel of Earth
Written by ALLAHOBHAYO DAL
I went to the deep sea for the sake of finding a pearl,
I found diamonds,
but not as sparkling as her.
I dug out the deep soil,
I found a radiant gold,
but I realized it's not up to her criterion.
I ran to the garden, I found many colorful bouquets
full of hypnotizing fragrance,
but not as gorgeous as her.
I went to the topmost mount cliffs,
I felt a breezy wind,
but not as calm as her scarfs gust.
I took off to the jungle,
I found a beautiful peacock, its dancing was intricate,
but cannot twirl like her waist.
I left for heaven,
I saw many goddesses,
but not as desirable.
I went to the coast,
I found glossy sand slivers,
but not like her winking sights.
Finally, I departed to the dormitory, shutting down my eyes,
and I found the sweet dream
in which I see the angel of death.
