Sanhua Tower by Tom Sharp

Emperor Yang Xiu built a tower that rises above the trees. Below, rain is headed for the Three Gorges. At the top, the sun always shines. I feel as though I’m in heaven, and I’m OK with everything that’s happened.

登锦城散花楼 by 李白 (Li Bai)

日照锦城头,朝光散花楼。 金窗夹绣户,珠箔悬银钩。 飞梯绿云中,极目散我忧。 暮雨向三峡,春江绕双流。 今来一登望,如上九天游。
