The field is the home of the brave
Stepping on the morning dew With the sound of the farmer's hoe

Stepping on the morning dew
With the sound of the farmer's hoe
To the forest, the fields, the streams and the secret unknown places
Walking
To set out, perhaps to reach
Maybe just to stay where we are
The fragrance of the earth is awakened by the footsteps
The sound of cicadas stopping at the sound of people
The bamboo and the land form a beautiful arc
with the bent backs of farmers
outlining the gradually brightening morning
Here
The scent of tea is twisted in the sweaty fingertips
The bamboo tube is fragrant with oil
The forest is the auditorium where the summer insects sing in harmony
The pond is a sacred place where lotus and roots reincarnate
The sheep do not return to their homes at night
The dogs occasionally steal the chickens
The sharp edges of rice and the thorns of melons
Cut the skin - red, swollen, bruised, bleeding
And perhaps the powerlessness and disturbance of the earthly world
Through bite marks and strains
We hear the soul's deep
pain
Remove the churches, shake off the skyscraper heels
Touching with our hands
Touch the earth
Pick up a thin brush and paint two strokes of bamboo
Or bow to a clear spring and cook the fragrance of medicine
Then
All the departure becomes return
All walks become conversions
Under the night, the stars are like torches
Blow out the reading lamp
All the body is the moon
