    AMUSING MYSELFFacing my wine, I did not see the dusk,Falling blossoms have filled the folds of my clothes.Drunk, I rise and approach the moon in the stream,Birds are far off, people too are few.

    AUTUMN AIRThe autumn air is clear,The autumn moon is bright.Fallen leaves gather and scatter,The jackdaw perches and starts anew.We think of each other- when will we meet?This hour, this night, my feelings are hard.

    Before human beings possessed fire or tools or language, the moon had been their ally. It would calm people’s fears now and then by illuminating the dark world like a heavenly lantern. Its waxing and waning gave people an understanding of the concept of time. Even now, when darkness had been banished from most parts of the world, there remained a sense of human gratitude toward the moon and its unconditional compassion. It was imprinted upon human genes like a warm collective memory.

    We pass through this world like two gnats in a husk of millet on a boundless ocean! I grieve that life is but a moment in time, and envy the endless current of the Great River. Would that I might clasp to me some flying sprite and forever wander with him! Would that I might embrace the lightsome moon for all eternity!

    Moon, you have witnessed so much life and so much death.So many promises and so many lies.Tell me, moon, was there ever a love like mine?But moon, do not nod. I could never believe you anyway.
