1. I struggled to raise my voice
And drank in my silence amidst trivial chatter

2. On the wall of patience I appear as a painting
Whose colors flowed onto my dark night

3. Despite what I have stripped of ideas
And despite my enthusiasm for art

4. Noble devotion comes over me
Toward revealing beyond pretentious glitter

5. In my poems are a thousand raging letters
With no method to shelter and follow them

6. A season waves farewell to seasons
While four remain across the earth’s orbit

7. How many rebels the beads would please
Singing for them the robes of monks

8. For generosity; deeds that dispel its sun
Past, present: how remarkable!

9. I conversed with her in the language of passion: she softened
But froze upon my lips in haste

10. If only she knew: my tears
Poured with it while sorrow stretches its limbs

11. The soul expresses her word with blame
While the eye avoids paths of frailty

12. And the difference between my confusion and space
Is a noble saying that provokes shaking!
