|
Passing the Death Valley |
|
We crossed green littoral hills |
|
Leaving behind the waters of an unknown sea |
|
And we faced at once the opposite |
|
Of those tranquility and beauty |
|
Meeting face to face with the power of the Death |
|
We perceived its delicate devastated taste |
|
A boundless burnt city appeared before us |
|
With ruins of once grand skyscrapers |
|
Collapsed stack interchanges |
|
And endless lines of wrecked cars |
|
I stood stunned at this desolate scenery |
|
Looking at piles of concrete |
|
Broken glass and various debris |
|
Unable to control my trembling soul |
|
And far away above the dead city's ruins |
|
The Shining Palace towered splendidly |
|
We made our way to it |
