Greed engulfs all
With a plague of worldly goods
Cured only in death
The Sword and the Bow
Cowardice and Might
Simply two means to a common end
A song of tragedy for a tear
A distant view for a memory
A thought of home for solace
Swimming a river of tears
Crossing an ocean of regret
Still no rest to be found
Foot soldiers lead wars
Slowly fighting onward
Giving no command
Heroes soar in the sky
Their wings beating over the land
Where shall their nest be?
Dreams are waves upon the sea
Children play on their shores
Oblivious to fate
The King stands in the Heavens
Ushering new life into the kingdom
Praying it will save many others
Set free upon the winding field
The rain water plays with the river
Passing the border of the swamp
The world is dull
I wake up alone
Drunk in public.
The world has become dull
Wherewith has it become muddied
That a wave must rise against it?
Blue waves peak and break
The pure clean water
Washes my feet
The mighty pine grows tall and straight
Watching the wind blow through the valley
The wind blows forcefully
At twilight, I lay awake
As I rise, I play a song
Drowning the silence of the night
The fires of rebellion rage
Burning all in its path
Scorching the earth
The beating of the drum
Songs of joy and sorrow
A brief reprieve from old age
Clouds float by in the vast sky
My wishes go unfulfilled
for they wander not near
Like the wolf, like the tiger
Prowling in the wilderness
Men know no rest in war
Battles to the South, Death to the North
The dead are only greeted
By the pecking of crows
Who can possess the earth?
It gives life, and deals death
Can any own the master?
My thoughts dwell in the great mountains
Where coming and going is scarce
And where the foundation is solid
The sun knows not they who leave
And welcomes they who come
To leave the gate, is to face reality
An aging mother nears death
Debts to her unpaid, yet
A richer woman there was not
7The tides of light and dark,
The years drying like morning dew
Renewal is at hand
Drink not from a stolen spring
Seek not shade from an evil tree
An evil tree hath no branches
King, if here you wage your war
I will lend you my pike
That by blood we may ally
If today, we should be amused
What time is there for which to wait
For this day is in our grasp
Thunder in Winter, rumbles aloud
Snow in Summer, blazing cold
Chaos envelops the Master
Goings upon goings
Sadness follows you
Through the endless road ahead
A hundred years of life
Can bring a thousand years of sorrow
The day suffers through night
All day, all night
The face shows no change
Yet the spirit is in turmoil
The southern mountains bellow
The people flee, aimless
Only I shall remain
The last day of the storm
The crowing of the cock
Men celebrating without joy
I know the wind through the dead leaves
I know the coolness of the ocean
All are joyous when the gates are opened
Fresh grass near the banks
A willow tree in the garden
A somber mistress in the
Moon, what is thy life?
The reflection of my valor
Great deeds that you reward
The melodies of a faded song
With every sip of sweet wine
Lifting me up to a place of heights
Liquor is drunk with a song
such is the life of a man
Nothing more than the morning dew
A child's youthful vigor
The calmness within my heart
The past and present serve as one
No matter the heights of a peak
No matter the depth of the sea
Gentle voices will guide the soul to its origin
Perfect light is that of the moon beam
Which one must strive to reach
For sorrow only comes from within
Age speeds to those hidden in stables
Whose hopes lie far away
Their goals never met
Bones rest in fields bleached white
The rooster has been silenced
A hundred lives for one forgotten memory
The dragon hordes the deep spring
The wild beast walks the tall slopes
The fox returns to the hill to die
Mountains to the north
Treacherous, deceiving heights
Winding road, broken and bent
Heart, what fury do you feel?
Never returning from the east
No bridge over the water
Clouds in the northwest
Like a palanquin of the gods
Vacant in this time of despair
Autumn winds dance in the sky
The leaves fall frosted with dew
The swallows return South
Spread cheer in the morning
For when night comes
It does not return
Spring brings growth unfettered
Grass, trees, and the like
Follow the path to eternitty
The aroma of food in the distance
Turn one's thoughts to home
Reaching out, to feel the warmth
Full moon shines on the tower
Flowing light shines about
Reflecting off the ornaments above
Furious winds blow through the heights
Morning lights the northern groves
The long river flows into the deep.
White horse, fashioned in gold
Laden with Northwestern forsythia
Who will claim this child?
What time is out of harmony in meeting
The South wind calls
From a long journey to our bosom
Pure time is often difficult
But is always welcome
The world passes away in the morning dew
My eyes lead me forward
Vision and foresight compel me
Can you pluck the flower, you cannot see
There is none who know not hardship
As grass in the forest we desire growth
But in Autumn burns the prairie fire
Thrown upon the tips of blades
Life is better left on the breast
Reaching ever homeward
A fierce wind beats upon the trees
With a sharp sword in the palm
Friendships are found, or lost
I hold a bean
I could make paper, or sap
I crush it in my pot.
Lead a horse to the Great Wall
The water is cold there
Now he can be rode into battle
No one works alone in politics
Each voice must harmonize
Else it rattles with death.
Great Wall, in your majesty
Do you weep for your children dying
Far, far away?
Tales of distant places
Leave the language of now behind
And become one with the land
To rear a boy
And to raise him to manhood
Is to shackle a woman
Tie up your hair and endure
Satisfy your heart
Your pain lies in a remote place
Western Capital, fallen into disorder
The Great Tiger has released its plague
Leaving it for ruin
A single step forward
Exerting courage daily
Great journeys lie ahead
Abundance of words are beaten by deeds
They are but leaky containers
Anthills drowned by the river
Water flows from the river mouth
As the windows of heaven
Nursing the thirsty world
Great words cannot herald loyalty
Show the flower of your seed
Pick the fruits of your labor
Life is a hazard
The waking world a trap
Sleep cures all
Sit up, Guest
Take your fill!
The barrel of wine is not yet empty
