Conducting Myself In Society Impassively Poem by Luo Zhihai

恬淡处世

浊酒流年，精神恬淡成诗韵
芒鞋滕杖，步履轻盈踩土尘
梅魂鹤影，洗尽铅华还本色
古道长亭，清空往事有恒心


Conducting Myself In Society Impassively

In the turbid wine and the fleeting time
my spirit was indifferent
it became rhymes

In straw sandals
using a cane
I stepped on the dust
my steps were light

The souls of plums and the shadows of cranes
washed all white lead
restored original color

On the ancient road there was a long pavilion
empty of the past
required perseverance
