Did The Dream Come True? Poem by Luo Zhihai

夢想成真嗎？

花殘柳瘦，玉案傷秋重舉盞
夜寂更深，軒窗對燭複吟詩
異想天開，拋鉤釣月山高處
仰觀星耀，折桂登空夢美時


Did the dream come true?

Flowers withered and willows were thin
the jade desk sad to the autumn again held a wine cup in its hand
The window to a candle repeated to chant poems
night was silent and watch was late

I indulged in the wildest fantasy
high on the mountain
I hooked fishing moon
I looked up at the shining stars
when I had a sweet dream
for breaking a laurel branch, I went into space
