Love Like An Elusive Butterfly



Having a mental exercise during an evening jog…

1 走遍天涯海角遠 To the ends of the world and far flung corners of oceans…
2 恢心多年誰能勸 For many a year who could console the broken heart?
3 庭後池映花初發 Gazing at courtyard pond reflections of flowers in bloom…
4 門前春風敲良緣 Lest spring wind comes knocking at the front door with romance.

1 What is being searched is not known until the next line.

2 Did the consolation worked and continued the search? Or that it had failed and the search stopped.

3 Now we know that the consolation did not work and the poem is now at home staring at his dreams of love indicated by reflections in the pond.

4 Another advice to stop moping around for love as it could be knocking at the front door, don’t give up hope and go forward once more.
