My Whole Path

My learning expounds the districts of lunch and dinner,
A soothing music interrupts the line of thought;
For musicians interfere with the ways of the thought,
The very business matters of a learned man.

Buy their love for the whole of the wine,
This tearful fluid pouring into the rivers of mercy
Shall transform a glowing moon
In transit.

My wisdom shall forsake a boat that crumbles,
This work is solvable for the verses are finer
Than the march of a short man who conquers,
The defeats of the whole path and road utter it.
