Unflinching Love

From one thousand of your sights,
I know your steadfast love.
From the sounds of your soft foot steps,
I know your unflinching love.

I merged in that whistling wind,
and washed your tearful eyes.
I did float on this flowing river
and danced in your flapping dress.
The lamp of my heartful love
will come along for ever with me.

This mortal love will end
when anyone is snatched by death.
The fragrant scent of the flowers
will cease being sewn in a wreath.
All the path I travel along,
Your floral face joins me.
