Jade carved dishes - food costing more. <br />I throw the chopsticks down, <br />Food and wine are tasteless. <br />Draw my magic sword, <br />Mind confused stare round me. <br />See the ice floes block the Yellow River. <br />Feel the snowfall shroud the T’ai-hang Mountains. <br />Quiet again I cast in dark waters, <br />Find the fragile boat that might drift sunwards. <br />Hard Journey. So many side-tracks. <br />Turn after turn, and where am I? <br />New breezes flatten down the waves ahead. <br />I’ll set cloud sails, cross the Blue Horizon.<br /><br />Li Po<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gold-painted-jars-wines-worth-a-thousand/
