The Man On The Moon

Heart Lore

Written on a cruise along China's Yangtze River while passing through Wushan, known for its natural scenery including the Goddess Peak and the Three Little Gorges of Daning River

Looking at the Tranquil Emerald Gorge in Wushan

Emerald rain had fallen from Wushan's mountains into the gorge,

Holding in its hands the moon;

I hoped to catch a glimpse of the man on the moon,

But saw only your face on the clearing ripples,

Peering from a neat cleft of my mind.
