First Contemplation

The blue sky a flying mirror inverted, through endless ages without residual feeling

The source of inquiry and learning is not easy to exhaust;

first born here, one truly is like the dragon.

Counting to five thousand at the place without sound—

void and solid were ever of one and the same.
