Of Yesteryears

This was written while on the last leg of my jog.

1 碧綠池塘蓮華香 Fragrance of lotus blooms fills the verdant pond,
2 水點蜻蜓浮映上 And dragonflies skimming upon floating reflections.
3 明媚好景雲烟夢 Like dreams and mists, such beauteous scenery will never last,
4 今刻何比當日陽 How can the sunlight of then be compared to those of yesteryears?

1 蓮華 sounds like 年華, youth
2 蜻蜓點水 has other connotation besides “skip deep”
3 Other meanings of 陽 can also be applied.
