Featherweight and plain

Shines hair like the sun

Brings back old typhoons
Like Sky

Knows not where the truth lies

Scares himself from the lanterns

There's a night in the sky
Up ahead

If you just stare
You'll see it coming

Lest there be a carol
Waiting by your side

Bring back your smile
And swallow a hummingbird
Till you can hold it no more

Bring it out alive

Remember
A star that shines
Is like the way of your mind

Bodhisattva Guanyin

(...)
Eyebrows like a crescent moon,
Eyes like a pair of stars,
A jade face full of heavenly happiness,
Scarlet lips making a touch of red.
Her pure bottle of sweet dew is ever full,
The willow twigs in it are always green.
She delivers from the eight disasters,
Saves all living beings,
Great is her compassion.
She stays on Mount Tai,
Lives in the Southern Sea,
Rescues the suffering when she hears their cries,
Never failing to answer every call,
Infinitely divine and miraculous.
Her orchid heart admires the purple bamboo;
Her orchid nature loves the fragant creeper.
She is the merciful ruler of Potaraka Island,
The living Guanyin of the Tide Cave.
