Pondering whether life is but a dream

Ode to samsara, a portrait of Amitayus

Looking up at the blue sky while fishing

From dawn to dusk,

no rest for the wretched

A child behaving badly,

a father's transgression

Life is but a dream 

Looking up at the moon

in homesickness I am drowned

A long way home across the river

Limitless, a life span of ten thousand years

A book itself holds yellow gold

An artist who touches deeply, touches from the depths of Being
