Envied No Longer - 再何慕



Another inspiration from my jogging.  I had been passing by this road up the slope and turning into a dead end.  There is a small  walk path at the end and goes into the park.  Today, it was another nice sunny Southern California day and the idea of not knowing where it will lead to became the initial theme for this piece.


忽見幽處小山路 Suddenly by the quiet corner a small hill path espied,
待君好奇解愁醋 Waiting for its Lord to seek free of his depressed envy.
桃紅水秀花蜂蝶 Peaches red, flowers scented, bees a buzzed and butterflies by the graceful waters,
崑崙瑤池再何慕 Jasper Pools of Kunlun, no longer envied.

The abode of the Queen of the Western Paradise is thought to be on Mt. Kunlun. There exists a body of water named the Jasper Pool where fairies congregate.
