The Heart’s Fifth Chamber

Deep valleys houses a river flowing
The rim of the sky above white clouds
blanketing the range of mountains
that stretches out to hug the earth

The heart dreams of peace
conquers misfortune, fans a fire that never goes out,
stands firm and knows how to listen
Like rain, love and hope temper heat

Lined with valleys houses a river flowing
At night the heart dreams the same dream
solicitous of earth and sky
My birthplace where I sleep forever
My birthplace where I sleep forever

Angkarn Chanthathip Afternoon, Maehongson, Buddhist Lent 2009
