Seven-Character Regulated Verse: On a Business Trip to Nanchang, Mid-Autumn by Chance

2006/7/5 21:14:59

City lights ablaze while one sits desolate,

Where songs and strings run wild, alone I wander.

A full river of moonlight, cold as pain,

Through the night, the jade sky deep as madness.

Wind shadows on pavilions, wind shadows stilled,

A mirrored-flower world, mirrored flowers lingering.

Enchanted through the ages—whose dream is dreamt?

Startled awake in autumn, half in frost.
