Happy Mid-autumn Festival! 千古明月 慶中秋
It is still the same, the bright round sphere,
shining behind veils of thin clouds.
I gazed upon the illuminating moon, looking for that wonderland
In that faraway land where mystical tales live long,
Where dreams are realised and smiles beam bright.

<span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-size: 80%;"><em>Happy Mid-autumn Festival! 千古明月 慶中秋</em></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">It is still the same, the bright round sphere,<br />
shining behind veils of thin clouds.<br />
I gazed upon the illuminating moon, looking for that wonderland<br />
In that faraway land where mystical tales live long,<br />
Where dreams are realised and smiles beam bright. </span></p>

<p>It&#8217;s been cloudy with occasion showers throughout the day, I thought I wouldn&#8217;t be able to see the moon tonight. Just a little after midnight I gazed upon the sky, and there it is, rays shining through my window sills. The photo is taken just after midnight. The positioning of the moon seemed to be somewhat different from <a title="Moonlight rendezvous | quaint melody" href="http://www.quaintmelody.com/2008/09/moonlight-rendezvous.html" target="_blank">this time last year</a>. It&#8217;s funny how the moon almost always brings out feelings of melancholy and notalsgia for me. Must be the occasion. It&#8217;s the season of longing and love, it&#8217;s the season of whole.<br />
<em>Now tell me, did you see the moon tonight and how did it make you feel?</em></p>

The moon appeared a little over 6pm. As it became brighter and the sky darken, I immersed myself in the mesmerising and mystical air. My loved ones in that faraway land, I miss you all and wish you well.

<p>The moon was beaming, stars twinkling across the universe<br />
When I looked upon the sky, I thought of my loved ones<br />
Though we&#8217;re miles apart, our hearts never felt so close</p>
<p>The rounded moon seemed to speak wonders<br />
Illuminating scrolls of tales and dreams<br />
Tales of love and togetherness<br />
Songs of mellifluous melodies</p>
<p>I caught a spark in the dazzling light<br />
and immersed myself in the majestic mist that is the night<br />
I heard a quaint melody, coming from afar<br />
From the land of mystical tales<br />
Where dreams and emotions intertwine into a beautiful weave of symphony</p>
<p>明月高挂<br />
悠悠地訴說著憂怨往事<br />
幽思千古情恨<br />
故人是否仍舊 孤寂</p>
<p>當我望向青空<br />
憶起遠方親朋<br />
人月是否 依舊</p>
