I wont speak of lingering threads when lotus roots break
For fear the lotus seeds heart tastes too bitter
I wont speak of the lotus fragrance sweet for miles
For fear my tears would flow in endless rivers
I wont speak of fireflies on midsummer nights
For fear theyd vanish with their lanterns hard to find
I wont speak of night herons flying past the stove pond
For fear their mournful cries would pierce the silent air
In the pond on Lotus Pond Hill
The nineteenth lotus bloom has opened wide
The Lotus Stream like an umbilical cord
Nourishes life beneath the starlit sky
Return to Lotus Pond Hill
Return to where my mother was born
See this pond of lotuses
Ever renewing ever reborn
