Morning sunshine
Wandering around the sky, clouds, and water
Peacefully pondering about life
Though fate might not be ripe, love was not fully sweet
Still, we kept our heads high to welcome the morning sun.
- Ageless
When I was with you, I was ageless
When you were with me, you became an angel
Love had no age when we fell in love
In moments together, time stood still.
- Mourning for the apricot branches
You are so busy that don’t need anyone
But I mourn for the apricot branches
Spring has come that forgetting to show off their beauty
Then spring has gone, the petals are faded
- Seeking a master
The wise seek out a master
The fool forgot the master’s presence
With a master, one surely achieved
Without a master, ascending was difficult.
- Waiting
It was hard to find a golden lid for a golden pot
There was still a lid for a clay pot or a cast iron pot
A late fate was not hastened
Who would try to wait for a golden lid?
