Qingse Ru Qingshan · The Days Ahead Are Long
Cloud and water do not touch; I lay down the karma of the life before. Sitting in contemplation through ten thousand autumns, the breath transformed blows the blossoms down.
The world of dust has nothing to do with me; the fire at the heart dies back. Now and then the sun's brightness comes out — from the high mountain, one shout.
Glosses—
Qingse Ru Qingshan: the name of a ci tune, also called 'Sheng Zha Zi';
yīng: blossom, flower;
shout (hè): to cry out loudly.
