Words as Messages, Remotely Sending Years
with a word as the messenger
remotely sending years
fish and a ruler's elegance
folding will conveys affection
pigeon flies thousands of miles
swallows migrate through many mountains
flowers fall silently
people leave and tea cools
yet only frost-flowers and maple leaves remain in autumn
remotely sending years
to entrust the best of oneself
spring breeze ten miles away is not as good as you
weak water three thousand, like you yearning
with a word as the messenger
remotely sending years
compose poetry and write lyrics
sing by composing
the melody drifts and the wind causes it to move
the sound fades after the music stops
poetry ends, music stops
singing of brilliance, who turns the water into a boat
sighing at the autumn moon and falling leaves
union and separation, who misses whom
remotely sending years
through dust and wind
three winters, autumn blooms, spring and summer return
when will I change your former appearance
