Folk Atlas: Voices of the Earth

🎶 Song of Morning Mist on Quiet Stone 🪷

(Original Song)

Verse 1
Morning mist on quiet stone,
Footsteps fade, I’m not alone.
A bell hums soft across the lake,
Time slows down with every wake.

Pre-Chorus
I carried years I couldn’t see,
Set them down beneath the tree.

Chorus
Where the lotus learns to breathe,
I remember how to be.
Nothing held and nothing lost,
Just this light, however soft.
Where the water meets the sky,
I let the moment pass me by.
Here I am, and here I stay,
Like dawn that doesn’t rush the day.

Verse 2
Bamboo bends but does not break,
Moonlight sleeps upon the lake.
Ancient songs in river stone,
Every heart has always known.

Pre-Chorus
What I seek is already near,
In this breath, the path is clear.

Chorus
Where the lotus learns to breathe,
I remember how to be.
Nothing owed and nothing proved,
Only love, and nothing moved.
Where the night turns slowly blue,
I find myself returning too.
Here I am, and here I stay,
Like stars that teach the dark its way.

Bridge (very soft, chant-like)
Ah — na — li
Ah — na — li
Still the wind
Still with me

Final Chorus (slower, more spacious)
Where the lotus learns to breathe,
All the world is kind to me.
Step by step and sound by sound,
Peace is what I’ve always found.
If I wander, if I stray,
Silence shows the gentlest way.
Here I bow, and here I sing,
To the quiet in all things.

Outro
(flute fades, water ripple, one deep breath)



Instrumentation

China: Soft dizi (bamboo flute) motifs; low, resonant xiao for meditative lines.

Japan: Clear, bell-like punctuations from shō; gentle Koto arpeggios.

Korea: Warm, expressive gayageum glides; subtle rhythmic grounding from janggu (very light).

Nature: Field-recording-style textures—wind through pines, distant water, soft footsteps on stone.

Melodic Character

Based primarily in pentatonic scales shared across East Asian traditions.

Long, floating phrases reminiscent of Buddhist chanting tones.

The melodic shape slowly rises through the first half, then gently resolves downward.

Harmonic Atmosphere

Drone-based harmonic bed (sustained open fifths).

Sparse tri-tone movement to evoke quiet introspection.

Final chord resolves into a warm, open 5th to leave the listener in calm spaciousness

🕊 “In stillness, everything is heard.”
