My shadow lives my life
With strong-mindedness;
Majestic in character and
Sophisticated in fashion
...
Striking a matchstick gently
On the surface of the matchbook
For warming up the winter
Underneath the wetted wooden log
...
When I grasp hold of the deep sleep
And sink soundly in the ocean of peace
With no sense on my body and
Sensibility in my mind,
...
Inside me blossoms a dense forest
From the roots of my body hairs,
Faster than the eternal verities of my life
Running after time,
...
