Oriental Moods

Love is always in the spring time

In the night with the moonlight

The river is as soft as silk

Always caring for the flower in the distance

That gentle messenger

Never dares to pinch the fragrance rashly

Always staring with the long view

Weaving a web that is looming

Always like a spider patiently waiting

Eventually the unbearably hungry connoisseur

Swooping down

On the beautiful feast
