Stick #28
Bai Juyi's Demotion
FairPoem
Moored at Xunyang under moonlit skies,
A lute's lone melody stirs heartfelt sighs.
Two hearts apart - who carries love's refrain?
As winter snows turn youthful temples white.
船泊潯陽月夜天
琵琶一曲動人憐
相思兩地憑誰寄
白雪催人上鬂巔
Interpretation
This sign recalls poet Bai Juyi hearing a lute song during his exile - a scene of melancholy, not joy. It speaks of separation with no messenger to bridge the distance, while time's passage whitens hair. While no great danger is foretold, the omen suggests cheerless times ahead with more misfortune than good fortune in current endeavors.
