Today

Today again I meet a day, a well of mystery.

Like a drop of that river extends to

a spring of a valley and then to

the faraway blue sea, for this day

the past, the future, and the present are one.

So does my today extend to eternity,

and right now I am living the eternity.

So, starting from today, I should live

eternity, not after I die,

and should live a life that deserves eternity.

I should live the life of a poor heart.

I should live the life of an empty heart.
