My heart lost its rhythm as I spotted mammoth creatures advancing towards each other belligerently in the firmament. The blue expanse looked like a wide battlefield. The battlers on each side were humongous cats, tigers, elephants, wild bears, and rhinoceroses. They were slowly coming close. Lo! They dashed against each other, blended into each other, and became one. Then there came the continents. They, too, blended into each other and became a gray whole. Then came the rain. I felt they were all crying together over the futility of fighting. Yet I wonder why the blue becomes red with rage.
