Seeing Off Yuan the Second on a Mission to Anxi

Wang Wei

 Next Poem          

Weicheng morning rain moisten light dust
Visitor house green green willow colour new
Urge gentleman further finish one cup alcohol
West outside Yang Pass no friend person


At Weicheng morning rain has dampened light dust,
By the hostel, the willows are all fresh and green.
I urge my friend to drink a last cup of wine,
West of Yang Pass, there will be no friends.

    Wow, this really makes u think. Especially the part where it says, "I urge my friend to drink a last cup of wine, West of Yang Pass, there will be no friends." feels super heavy. Kinda got me in the feels. Seems like he's telling his buddy that its all gonna be different from here on out. Makes me think of times when I had to let go of friends or move on. Can't help but feel a touch of the lonlies though.
