Bamboo Song (For My Grandfather)
Through the hollow stems of the bamboo tree
You heard the secretive music in your ears
The long, ethereal
Notes that touched the soul, making one quiver like a willow on a breezy autumn day
Through the resilient stems of the bamboo tree
You understood the meaning of struggle, purpose and life. your laughter and tears
Of joy and pain became one
How was it that you were
So fortunate to hear the bamboo tree's melodies?
Was it because you listened with your heart?
You listened to the maestro wind play the notes, and heard
The vibrations of the cosmos filtered to one clear sound. Many could not
Understand your unerasable smile
Through the bamboo tree
You preserved the unwritten songs in your empty heart, and touched
The eternal skies with your own music
You heard the secretive music in your ears
The long, ethereal
Notes that touched the soul, making one quiver like a willow on a breezy autumn day
Through the resilient stems of the bamboo tree
You understood the meaning of struggle, purpose and life. your laughter and tears
Of joy and pain became one
How was it that you were
So fortunate to hear the bamboo tree's melodies?
Was it because you listened with your heart?
You listened to the maestro wind play the notes, and heard
The vibrations of the cosmos filtered to one clear sound. Many could not
Understand your unerasable smile
Through the bamboo tree
You preserved the unwritten songs in your empty heart, and touched
The eternal skies with your own music
