Scarecrow

Shed the verdant nature of life

Shedding the fullness of the season

The thinness of the body emptied by the years

Supporting the transformation of another role

Cloaked in the garb of loneliness

Watching the vision of others' harvest

Also watching over my own humble life

Can have no soul

Can not be bound by the freedom

In a life of unchanging destiny

Fulfilling only loyalty and responsibility

With the hard work and simplicity of farmers

But more tolerant of loneliness and coldness

With the wind, frost, rain and snow for company

But disdainful of the thieving birds as friends

With a way of standing

Interpreting the angle that makes people look up

Even if one day

Feathered bones

I will write the definition of return

I will write the definition of return and stay together
