In the ink-washed mountains my heart paints the land
Morning light flickers where dreams take their stand
The fragrance of ink flows through times gentle song
As my heart dances with strokes where the blossoms belong
Fame and fortune are but clouds that drift away
Where the heart desires love finds its way
Thats where eternity lays in the warmth of the day
In the bamboo grove I listen to the breeze
Pine waves whisper secrets carried with ease
In the boundless sea of stars a lone sail drifts afar
Braving the waves chasing dreams where they are
No need to conquer the world just seek to do good
Finding the extraordinary in the life that Ive stood
As willow catkins dance carefree in the air
Like my wishes light and free with grace everywhere
Where dreams take me love finds its place
The strokes of time shape my lifes embrace
Not asking east or west but living my way
In the joy of each moment I celebrate each day
