I imagine my birthplace to be so beautiful that I might mistake it for the cosmic ocean—the place where I shall ultimately go, where I shall return. I can no longer hear that song, nor can I remember that beloved, nostalgic voice. Someday, I will deliver this soul to Nirvana, together with the billowing midnight smoke rising high into the sky.
