The Pear Blossom Path
Gao Dao's pear blossoms
are like a painting reflected in the water
one crescent moon spring water, ten faces of pear blossoms
one tree connected to another, one flower next to another
quiet and lush
standing on the shore
watching children play
red shirt like fire
dancing in the snow
one azure sky
one white cloud
one yellow flower
one green grass
shimmering with a pale, rosy luster
gentle waves rising, water ripples
the setting sun hangs on the treetops
is that the maiden gazing back from the door?
hesitates to leave
smoke curls around the trees
flowers wind around the village
home town Gao Dao
peaceful and joyful
