Once for a whole life
Once for a whole day
in a temple with burning incense I meditated
suddenly I seemed to hear
the resonance of your recitation in my ear.
Once for a whole eve
I listened to the soulful chant in relief
not for enlightment in quest
but to feel your living breath
Once for a whole month
I turned all prayer wheels in earnest
not for repenting sins
but to touch your fingertips
Once for a whole year
on all fours to dust I came near
not for worshipping gods
but to feel your warmth in love
Once for a whole life
I journeyed through ten thousand spires
not for rebirth to complete
but to meet you in destiny
Once in a split second
I may ascend as a spirit
not for eternity
but to bless with joy and security
