Thoughts of A Hairpin: Autumn Thoughts By The Dresser - Variation IV




The structure and idea of this variation was started on 13 Jul 2021 but I was not able to complete the poem.  Then today, out of the blue, the thoughts came flowing through...

1 寒月斜照妝台塵 Cold slanting moonbeams upon the dust of the dressing table,
2 孤寂金釵見無人 The golden hair dangler is lonely with no one around.
3 想當同步與風搖 That once in lockstep with her, swinging with the breeze,
4 面實遲疑豈敢問 Now facing reality... Truth, dare I seek?
