No Escape


Another jogging inspiration...

1 桃源花盛紅滿天
Blossoms may fill the skies of Peach Blossom Spring in red,
2 夢在青山白雲見 Green mountains are dreamt but only white clouds seen,
3 欲踏紫泉脱凡塵 To escape from the mortal realm by stepping into fairy pools,
4 先無恩怨再牽纒 Let no gratitude or grudge first to restrain thee anymore.

2 Green mountains symbolize youth and vigor while white clouds are white hairs of the aged.

3 Purple hued mists are a sign of fairyness.

4 先 is a pun as it sounds exactly like 仙 and thus the line can be interpreted as “fairies/immortals do not have any attached emotion from the mortal world.
