Lu Tung-pin : My heart is the clear water

Some information about the 8th c. CE Chinese poet, scholar and student of the Way may be found at this post.

My heart is the clear water in the stony pond.
Right now it is invaded by the peach-blossom shadows.
As soon as I arrive at heaven’s palaces
I shall settle down with my seven-stringed lute.

Translation T. C. Lai
