Ember

Desert smoke vanishes into nothing,
Iron cavalry tread leaving no trace.
Hero’s long journey buries proud bones,
Drunk on wine, a heart of courage remains.
Ten years of ups and downs, fearless,
Returning one day, leaving a mournful note.
When prosperity fades, who will accompany me?
The still water stays silent as birds return to the forest.
When the weather is cold, brew a pot of Osmanthus black tea.
It will warm both your stomach and your heart.
It turns out the word used was “ember,” whereas I thought it was “ash.”
