Silver Life in Spring

The scent of incense lingers/ intoxicated by the misty rain/ at the gate of the Royal Temple/ green buds bloom...

(The mountains of ten thousand lifetimes have sword energy.
(The six heads have no beginning or end)

Fragrant incense
drunk in the mist
Wang Tu Gate
green buds bloom

Eternal Life
The land rises and the water rises.
Six Head Waves
carry the spirit of East Asia.
six to seven hundred years of history echoing back
river
a glorious time

Sacred
spirit of earth and water
spring
Eternal Life…
majestic mountain
stand in the middle of life
like a sword that cuts through the blue sky.
