My Mind

My mind is a lake.
Please come in your boat.
Clasping your white shadow,
I'll shatter like jade
Against the bow.

My mind is a candle light.
Please close that door.
I'll quietly burn to the last drop,
Flickering by your silken dress.

My mind is a wanderer.
Please play on that flute.
Listening in the moonlight.
I'll be awake all the night-tide.

My mind is a dead leaf.
Please let me stay briefly in your garden.
When the wind rises again,
I'll leave you, lonely as a wanderer.
