Intoxicated By The Breeze Poem by Chen Hong

Intoxicated By The Breeze

Rating: 5.0


bamboo wall, upstairs, leaning on the orchid windown,
she tunes the strings gracefully in the pavilion at leisure,
whispering a song of being together forever and ever,
what else you want more!
the wind is sing,
and the cloud is dancing,
wild goose flies over the sky,
who do u draw your eyebrow for?
floating long sleeves and dancing the sword,
a melody ends,
she turns back with silence, laughing at the breeze.
serving self with a cup of mellow tea and wine,
she got immersed in the drunk air.
with reddish cheeks, she sang:
rely on the wind, the water or the cloud, what could d you get
in the end?
live with no self, no fame and no wealth, that is called free and unfettered!
