I can feel it in the air. It\u2019s autumn and it\u2019s wonderful. I have been looking forward to this since May. <\/p>\n
I was reading some Classical Chinese poems, and found one that moved me, \u6b66\u5e1d\u300a\u79cb\u98a8\u8f9e\u300b.\u3000I especially like the first four lines:<\/p>\n
(Ignore \u516e[\uff79\uff72]. It has no meaning and is only there to make the rhythm. )<\/p>\n
\u79cb\u98a8\u8d77 (\u516e) \u767d\u96f2\u98db

I love this poem. It\u2019s very beautiful. So I wrote my own version of it. It is a very loose translation. It\u2019s about the season and also about romance:<\/p>\n
Autumn breeze blows low and rises
\nPowder white clouds climb into the sky and rise
\nGeese glide on the thermals and fly off
\nEyes on southern climes<\/p>\n
As the grass and trees once green turn gold
\nLeaves yellow and fall low
\nRows of orchids, their faces woken
\nTheir fragrance potent, petals open
\nBeauty showing to the world<\/p>\n
Like you, my girl.
\nEyes were awoken, mind was in motion, face was aglow.
\nWings were unfurled.
\nYou\u2019re gone.
\nAs if rising on the thermals, to the heights,
\nVanishing, light, into the sky.
\nI think of you, girl…
\nWho has left my sight, my eyes,
\nBut never leaves my mind<\/p>\n
