WHERE sapphire peaks rise from the sea
Magic books are stored.
The Creating Power chose this place
As a dwelling for Immortals.
On clear, bright days their laughter echoes
Round the empty sky,
As they strive to ride enormous waves,
On the backs of whales.
With words of welcome on spring silk
To greet the Western Mother,
They will feast together in the Red Tower's
Deepest recess.
Wings of a crane, beating the wind,
Too slow to cross the sea,
Far better despatch a messenger
Riding a blue dragon.
Still doubtful whether the Western Mother
Will accept the invitation,
They send a mist-haired beauty
Of with the message.
