Ethereal Dreams - 烟雨夢

 
This poem was originally written on Thursday, May 18, 2017.  I didn't feel like it was good enough to be posted until I had updated it three years later.

1.水眠銀月船舟破 The silvery moon upon the sleepy waters shattered by boats,
2.搖搖自閑酒客多 To and fro in leisure, merrymakers come aplenty.
3.日上三竿靜如夢 Now that the sun is three poles high, all’s quiet like a dream,
4.烟雨秦淮昨夜歌 Of rain and mists, a Qinhuai’s song of last night.

1.The reflected moon

2.The boats are swaying lazily with customers.
3. The midday sun
4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qinhuai_River Liaisons are ethereal and lasts as long as money is there to be spent.
