Sparkling Starlight *

Seems to be weird,
but I have certain mental bondage
with this little creature - crab.

Crabs appear quite often in my childhood paintings.
(even though my early crabs used to have only 8 legs)
I am very proud of my constellation, Cancer,
which represents a crab again.
Even I think I had lived as a crab in the great past.
- not that plausible, but not a joke.

Indeed, this little marine warrior is easily frightened
even by a little stimulus.
But its sharp claws and strong shells always belie the fear.
Even when it runs in a hurry to its deep down hermitage,
it only raises its big claws more highly and pompously.

Perhaps I feel pity for this nature.
Perhaps I feel pity for this boldness,
which is so similar to mine:
hiding my inner weakness 
and struggling to be seen as stronger than I really am
