Under the moonlight, the cat’s shadow flickers, life is but a dream, not knowing this night from another.
Sitting alone with the shadow, the device turns the smoke, the mind calms with the mist, speaking softly to oneself.
The soul follows the smoke, sometimes dwelling on this shore, sometimes crossing to the other, when the dream returns, the shadow remains though the name has changed.
Walking without trace, coming without sound, only the moon and the smoke know its path.
Is it the other shore or this very night? The name has changed, the heart remains, smiling at the folly of a dream.

月色之下，貓影忽明忽暗，浮生若夢，不知今夕何界。
獨對影坐，器轉輕煙，心隨霧定，與己低語。
魂隨煙去，或棲此岸，或渡彼界，夢回時，影猶在，名已換。
行無留痕，來不聞聲，唯月與煙識其跡。
是彼岸是今夕，名已換，心尤在，笑看糊塗一回。
