Taomeow Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Dusk settles the wind Birds sing one final chorus I am not alone I am not alone with the moon and my shadow and Li Po's drunk ghost This in commemoration of the following by Li Po (701--762 AD), a taoist poet and drunk: I take my wine jug out among the flowers to drink alone, without friends. I raise my cup to entice the moon. That, and my shadow, makes us three. But the moon doesn't drink, and my shadow silently follows. I will travel with moon and shadow, happy to the end of spring. When I sing, the moon dances. When I dance, my shadow dances, too. We share life's joys when sober. Drunk, each goes a separate way. Constant friends, although we wander, we'll meet again in the Milky Way. Edited March 6, 2008 by Taomeow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loitering, I've been writing commentaries on the wind and moon for forty years. Chiao Chi 1280 - 1345 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
