Already Song
Lyrics, music and composition by He Xuntian
Awareness of Living:
In this present life, when everyone else has gone, the stars and the tree leaves will not have gone before you.
Sun already sunk behind the hills
Companions already gone home
Evening breeze already blown away
No one left to play
Stars up there, come out
And I will play with you
Sun already sunk behind the hills
Companions already gone home
Evening breeze already blown away
No one left to play
Leaves up there, flutter over here
And I will play with you

Oh, I love the snow when it is all crunchy like that.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have almost the perfect replica of that leaf on my desk. I picked it up a couple of years ago and for no good reason I laminated it. And so it sits on my desk, unchanging, captured in its fall but never reaching the earth.
ReplyDeleteThe music fits the solitariness of the leaf in the snow just perfectly.
ReplyDelete...I already had California Dreamin' in my head this morning.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so consistently outstanding, but this one of the maple leaf is definitely one of my favorites ever. Just exquisite!
ReplyDelete...beautiful. I feel the stillness of winter in this photo...
