Walk the Line

By Nocturnal Light (Originally in Chinese)

Because of affinity, things come and go;

Because of time, things change and disappear.

The line between right and wrong is as subtle

As the light and the shadow following each other.

In this world,

How many people walk the line

With the their eyes blindfolded

For different reasons?

We walk the line for Love,

We walk the line for the Universe.

We cross the bridge between galaxies.

Though stumbling and fumbling along the way,

We take one step after another,

Learning to master the art of steadiness—

Which is concentrating inside, one hundred percent.
