Just Bliss

Will get worn-out by continuously walking

The sun, soil, and stars will all sweep away

I will slumber under cover of centuries;

Weather’s plea, rain’s elegy, wind’s hymn

All incidents of days and nights’ moan

Beseech me discretely;

All arriving and departing

Will often remember me,

In order to forget me;
