Staying by the Hearth

Crystal bells, rich amber. 

White teeth, intoxicating incense, 

Bring a lifetime of bliss! 

My heart is willing, my love is willing, 

I sleep daily in your soft lips. 

As long as you live, 

I am immortal 

Powdered jade, 

Packed with age, 

Cooking dragons and phoenixes, 

Pearls red, pearls red, 

Stirring fragrant breezes.

Tsangyang Gyatso (1683-1706)
