This late night
Snow fall on my face
Wandering here with nostalgic memory
Searching my mother….
Searching on glimmering stars…..,
…. a lonely star
Heard painful songs of wild birds….,
Heard a weeping of a baby
Who, lost her mother in this deep forest
I’m searching till I reach heaven.

Yo mein or meree thanhai,

Is this some sort of translation?

Be careful of how you use the ellipses.  There's a right way, and a wrong way.

Lots of little birds fall from their nests.
All we can do is pick them up tenderly and put them back.
Some mothers do find them again.
I will help you find her.

Very nice thought provoking piece.

Maybe you're not using ellipses at all because you're using more than three dots here.....A pause maybe? A time for the reader to absorb maybe?
I don't know. Bobby's right though, one might be searching for the expected word to fill in the context.

Good work.

Eric
