The Karma

By Cheng Lie

Still following the proud spring engaged
the sail warm breeze raised, night and day
sailing to light green season.

Even though stars everywhere, life but a dream
sickle of crescent moon will also pierce vast sky,
I wish I could find a quiet night among starlight
enough is even half a life, a thorough soul is it.

An unfinished cause, a cause finished up
all the sentimental, like chess pieces thrown by god
passing through crossroads by moon individually
take a different choice and replace rest.

因缘

程烈

依旧追随傲岸春光的沉醉 
和煦清风扬起一张帆，不舍昼夜
驰向新绿一季。

纵然群星罗布，催动浮生若梦
吴钩弯月也必刺破弥望长天，
惟愿从星光里寻找静夜
即便半生岁月，也足以贯穿灵魂。

未了的因缘，已了的因缘
一切有情，像上苍掷下的棋子
逐一渡过月下幽深的歧路
以不同选择，取代安息。
