The tide stays calm upon the shore
No rush to rise
no fall to mourn
The wind just drifts in steady course
No loud delight
no quiet storm
I walk the space between the lines
No broken past
no sharp design
Just steady breath
just steady time
A gentle state of peaceful mind
No burning high
no empty low
No news to keep
no truth to know
I let the quiet rhythm flow
Soft and slow
I ride the neutral tide of blues
No win to take
no loss to lose
Guzheng hums low
A steady song I choose to use
I float inside the muted hues
No joy to gain
no grief to bruise
Slow blue notes
unchained
unbound
Peaceful sound
peaceful sound
The room holds light in mild degree
No shadow thick
no dazzling gleam
The hours pass unhurriedly
No worn out pain
no fresh fantasy
I stand within the present frame
No need to chase
no need to blame
The world just turns the same old way
Calm unbroken
day by day
No burning high
no empty low
No news to keep
no truth to know
I let the quiet rhythm flow
Soft and slow
I ride the neutral tide of blues
No win to take
no loss to lose
Guzheng hums low
A steady song I choose to use
I float inside the muted hues
No joy to gain
no grief to bruise
Slow blue notes
unchained
unbound
Not too full
not too thin
Not too out
not too in
Let the blended blues begin
Calm within
