As I ponder, I ponder, my heart's lake stirs with ripples vast,
A painter's hand, oh painter's hand, yet fails to grasp your graceful
mast.
For you, I lend a helping hand, enduring hardship without a sigh,
In dreams, your charm unfolds, passions raging, I can hardly contain the
tide.

Alas, the words "marriage" and "destiny" are ever so misaligned,
The path of mortals, rough and steep, love deep yet fate often blind.
What can we do but hold our grief, as longing turns to relentless pain,
Leaving us but sorrow, in the depths of the night, where love's fire
burns without relent.

The scenery is serene, my spirit soars high,
Within the dragon's realm, true cultivation and subtle wisdom lies.
Piles of yellow leaves, I let them burn at my leisure,
White clouds cover the ground, untouched by human's care,
Sighing over human affairs, I laugh, long and clear.

----------------------
In a twilight sleep, a dream unfolds,
A fair maiden by my lean form stands.
As intimacy and passion rose to bloom,
A yellow oriole's song rudely broke the mood.

Awakening, my heart is in a daze,
My balcony's joy, so cruelly erased.
The phoenix and peacock's union turns to dust,
Leaving only dreams of love, now long-lost.

===================

In a twilight sleep, a dream unfolds,
A fair maiden by my side, pure as a dove.
As love's sweet embrace began to deepen,
A sudden oriole's chirp, our bliss it did move.

Awakening, my heart is in a daze,
The joy that filled my balcony, now vanished like a breeze.
The fleeting bond of our souls, like a fragile flower, withers,
Leaving but memories of love, now distant and dear.
