Su Tong Paraphrase

 My head slowly lifts watches with baited breath

From ashes you rose so different 

To the White Swan gliding effortlessly 

Up towards the heavenly staircase 

Crossing over

Prosperity, Jobs and Titles

Are worth nothing. 

My Chariot 

Chugs to a standstill.

Cast away, where leaves die

I am tired, don’t care about anything 

For eons mankind 

Has been handled harshly

Forbidden to go to the beach.

Where else would I like to be ? 

Clever men, however you act 

towards them

Know that the Trinity allows things for a purpose 

Nothing is impossible 

Writing such form;

On the mountains and the rivers that sneak ....

Like a snake in that place you so love.
