To the tune "As in a Dream"
I have long remembered
the pavilion
on the stream
the falling sun
so deep in wine
we did not know
the way home
how pleasure spent
late returning
the skiff
thoughtless
entered
a lotus deep place
and struggling through
struggling through
we scared up
from the sand
gulls and herons.

Comments1Just stumbled upon this poem called Tz'u No. 2 (Wine Joy) and wow, it really made me feel like I was there! The whole "so deep in wine we did not know the way home" part resonates with me. Made me remeber some of my own wild nights. The imagery used to describe the scenery is fantastic, and I like the overall sence of nostalgia it gives.
