On board a ship the sun shines to full and the moon & the billion stars shine not to full;
Sailing high and low, and smoothly safe amidst the turbulent snaps of waves and typhoon strikes;
As I lay in bed, a smile in my lips and a peaceful mind indeed!


I see to full the extensive distances of the east from the west, or of the north from the south;
I filled to brim my eyes with the dazzling water of the wide ocean beyond and I complained with the shattering breeze of the wind and the air breaking hard my nose into the inside;
So I started to get bored and wish to see soon again my own feet walking in the ground!


The ship once I board into is an acquaintance into the world;
A bridge of our own time from the long days of yesteryear's
We sailed together and moved backward apart towards each's own destiny;
We laughed together many times; our hands together under each own blue moon!

The water is so dazzling my eyes seemed blinded at the sight;
A momentous blink and a gentle tap of my own hand I need this time,
And heart to sense not the sweetness of innocence but the real hue behind the glistening waters;
Or of the beautiful rainbow that comes out only when raindrops veil against the marvelous sun!


Oh, there is real beauty behind every beast casting before thy eyes;
Or there seemed a beast hiding within the most virtuous sight;
I know not until thy heart’s wit-tainted to a mundane hue;
A camouflage to unveil the beast behind and a spell to hurl spirits of pure hearts!
