I dreamed about a dragon ship
of sea green precious jade
its masts festooned with golden signs
I could not understand
Its body was quite cunning formed
with intricate designs
of wings and curvy ornaments
quite masterfully made
Yet heavy was its voyaging
upon the jade green waves
and heavy chains did weigh it down
which could not be undone
When I awoke I realized
that earthly goods can choke
no matter how they tempt the eye
with richest brocade gleams
Oh let me be released from gold
and jade and precious gems
and things that tempt the eye and soul
and keep me plugging on
Let me abandon that jade ship
appearing in my dreams
let me latch on to wings of birds
that toward heaven soar
There are no chains in our fair sky
just freedom from all bonds
more beautiful than chains of jade
are heaven's towers of clouds
I dreamed about a dragon ship
of sea green precious jade
its masts festooned with golden signs
I could not understand.
