LIFE

Life

 

Egret gently landing in sight

Bring the zither in the mist rain

At the moment of sacrifice

The sleepless bitter zen

Quietly arise

 

A clean verse before the setting moon

Puts out the oil lamp

Which exhausts the bone

Lays down your heaviness

And the mercy earth will give it a home

 

Slender leg egret outside the window

Opens the wings with imaginary light

Disappearing in the featherlike rain

Does not take a drop of life
