Do You Remember Me?

We sat at the foot of Wu Dang Mountain
On the cold ground,
We shared some plum wine
Before I went back to the temple,
You feared for my life
As I did,

Now we have seen each other again
For the first time,
We look different but we remain the same
As we were then,
Under that blossoming cherry tree
So long ago,

Your gong fu is good
As is mine,
I watch you carry the tiger to the mountain,
The mountain that watched us
As we left each other
On that cold night,

In your eyes I see the Old Ones
Who continue to teach us to this day,
They look down from Wu Dang Mountain,
As they did
The night we made our vows
To see each other once more.
