I was born
among islands scattered across the sea,
where ferries cross a harbour
veiled in morning mist.
I made my life
beside a northern lake
in a distant land,
where maples burn red in autumn,
snow softens the winter grey.
I found refuge
on a farther shore,
where clouds drift freely
across the boundless sky.
Yet something older
kept calling—
the ancient river
rolling endlessly on,
the dragon crouched
among the mountains deep.
One evening,
I found a quiet valley,
a spring hidden among stones,
clear, without end.
I saw the same moon
over every shore.
Wherever I am,
I am
home.
家
晨霧輕籠水面,
渡輪穿過海港。
散落海上的群島之間,
那是我最初的家。
年輕時,
我在遙遠的異鄉安居。
秋楓如火,
白雪輕覆著冬日的蒼茫。
在湖天相接之處,
我尋得一處靜居之地,
看彩雲悠悠
飄過遼闊的天空。
但心間仍然縈繞著
一種久遠的召喚:
聽那古老的大河滾滾奔流,
尋那巨龍靜伏於群山深處。
那個傍晚,
在一處幽靜的山谷中,
我發現一泓清泉
隱於石間,
澄澈無盡,
映著同一輪明月。
月光照亮心中的山河。
無論身在何方,
心歸之處,
便是家。
