【七律】神州俠女

（平水韻十一真）

萬裏秋途一笑春，古來雁字讀來新。
雲涯在處天涯客，月界周邊夢界人。
執劍依然寧執手，翻波隻為敢翻身。
東方未白何方白？昨夜飛花曉出塵。

Shenzhou is the Divine Land.

Physically, it is where Chinese call home.

Spiritually, it commands respect and beckons pilgrimage.

Poetically, it is the fountainhead of aesthetic ideas embraced by every homesick bard.

Shenzhou matters because China's humanistic tradition matters---especially in times of self-imposed cynicism.
