What is the meaning of this poem by Li Po?

The basic idea i can grasp in this poem from a quick reading is that it speaks of some of the few permanent things in life. The moon is ever present and our shadow cannot be dissociated from ourselves. It shows us how to appreciate ourselves and find simple happiness instead of running after unreachable perfect happiness in the impermanent things around us and neglecting the basic things in life.
