The World Beyond Time
Cloud, please stay –
Wind, please blow –
Do not dwell within time, following its passage,
But live beyond it, outside of time.
The flowing river has gone with time,
The flowing years have also gone with time,
The countless things in existence and non-existence,
Including the many stories of life,
Have all gone with the passage of time.
Everything that lives bound to time is consumed by it –
The devil that consumes everything.
So do not be consumed by time,
Nor blame it.
Only the world that is beyond time
Is the complete world,
Where meaningless life stories have all disappeared.
