Beautiful Dream Three

April 10: Beautiful Dream Three

Tang Du Mu once recited such a Classic of Poetry: "Ten years of sleep, dreaming of Yangzhou; gained the name of a fleeting beauty in the brothel." Classic of Poetry person dreamed of events from ten years ago. Those ten years of time seemed like a dream, passing in the blink of an eye. Heaven and earth turn, time presses; ten thousand years is too long, we only strive for morning and evening. Classic of Poetry person said he did not merely strive for morning and evening, but instead wasted beautiful time in the brothel's sensual pleasures. Even the beauties in the brothel felt pity for him: such a talented person, why not use his talents to do something beneficial for society? To immerse his beautiful life in music and dance's sensual pleasures? Isn't that a shame to life!

Ten years, in a person's life, should be said to be long. In ten years one can accomplish much; how many tens can a life have? Why waste so much time in vain? Classic of Poetry person regretted! Regretted his past "prosperous dream awakened, repenting wild wandering," not studying well, striving upward every day. Classic of Poetry person said——

Time!

Now I,

I am so sorry to you!

I have wasted my life——

I have not created a new self

Now I only know

The preciousness of time

The beauty of life

When I feel the beauty of life

Many beautiful things in life

Also drift away from me

In contemplation

My spirit tells me

「【Let people know wisdom and instruction,

discern clear speech

let people handle affairs and receive wisdom,

benevolence, righteousness, fairness, integrity's instruction

make the foolish enlightened

give the young knowledge and strategy,

let the wise hear and increase learning,

let the clever gain strategies

let people understand proverbs and parables,

understand the words and riddles of the wise】

But I still now

still do not understand that——

that 【the words and parables of the wise】

what meaning it has

Your yesterday is confused

Whoever has it also cannot know

What one's tomorrow is like

But I, however, know

If I still act as yesterday

let time flow away in vain

then tomorrow will surely be disappointing

In the midst of dust and smoke swirling

I have already squandered yesterday

Could it be that I still need to seek reasons not found

Miss today?

In contemplation

Small birds have already flown over the grove

Clouds and mist have already drifted among the flowers

Rivers are rushing toward the sea

……………………….

Time ah

Please let me go alone

Between dream and ideal………………. \
