Pitiable.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Let there be leaving taking and coming to, <br>drinking and drinking again, <br>playing fool to the wisdom of the ages, <br>remarking at those unkind sages<br>who always smack their lips for war.<br>Give me again the hilltop cave, <br>the pilgrim come to call at the door.<br>Fires I will then light for this age.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Who comes to me in this season for reason <br>besides the bee and the mite, the winding gourd? <br>I have sat here in one spot so long<br>I begin to lose my sight.

I have been faithful to it<br>tipping my cup. The present is sufficient but I admit <br>I am ready to go. My time has come.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Leave the world to the scoundrels! </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>[POET'S NOTE: I wrote the above poem in response to Li Po's famous poem, 'Alone And Drinking Under the Moon'. Here it is, by Li Po: </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Amongst the flowers I<br>am alone with my pot of wine<br>drinking by myself; then lifting<br>my cup I asked the moon<br>to drink with me, its reflection<br>and mine in the wine cup, just<br>the three of us; then I sigh<br>for the moon cannot drink, <br>and my shadow goes emptily along<br>with me never saying a word; <br>with no other friends here, I can<br>but use these two for company; <br>in the time of happiness, I<br>too must be happy with all<br>around me; I sit and sing<br>and it is as if the moon<br>accompanies me; then if I<br>dance, it is my shadow that<br>dances along with me; while<br>still not drunk, I am glad<br>to make the moon and my shadow<br>into friends, but then when<br>I have drunk too much, we<br>all part; yet these are<br>friends I can always count on<br>these who have no emotion<br>whatsoever; I hope that one day<br>we three will meet again, <br>deep in the Milky Way.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Warren+Falcon">Warren Falcon</a><div class=q>
