The Dust Left Behind in This World

A leaf falls from the Qinghua tree, reaching the Ninth Heaven; a lifetime of love stains me, a bond from a past life.

Free of desire and unaware, I walk my own path, yet the ways of the world draw me into the cycle of cause and effect.

If Heaven is heartless and slays the myriad paths, then I’ll tread the heavens and seek the road to immortality.

I know neither calamity nor destiny. My fate is mine to decide!
