Amid falling autumn leaves and this gentle breeze
I wish life would pause, allowing me to remain still
I hesitate to glance back at the trail that I traveled
It was shrouded in gloom, and I toiled with despair.
The future appears blurred in a mist of uncertainty
And I mull why my life has always been a mystery
The silent sky reflects the profound enigma of life
And these staring of woods penetrate deep inside
This moment, when the gentle waft of air so close
Stirred my stagnant desires in the core of my soul
I realize that life and its intricacies are insignificant
If we value the breath taken in this calm ambiance
The falling leaves remind me we would also perish
Why not let go of the fear that causes us distress?
Even if we fall short of achieving our inner desires
Embrace new journeys even in the face of failures
Let life unfold its adventure, let the currents guide
Why to linger in regret when everything is destined
One day, when these eyes will bid adieu to this life
All tangles will seem trivial when we glance behind
