Shen Yaozi on the Guiwei Jiazi month (2003/12/31)

A lone boat gazes afar at the Shu mountain's mist
The evening haze leans west, reflecting the lingering rainbow
Alas, the philosopher drifts further away each day
Sitting alone in the empty mountains, exploring the netherworld
Deep in the heart, the karmic ties harbor the multitude's confusion
Regrettably powerless to shift the heavens and earth
In the empty mountains, the ancient trees cast flickering shadows
In the dim night, the stars are sparse, the moon unclear
