Children,
let’s go to the mountain
to view violets.
If they scatter away tomorrow,
what can we do?

blossom viewing
home from blossom viewing-
as I disrobe, many straps
cling to my body

in my heart…dwells
Darkness has lifted and
In the sky that is my heart
Dwells the moon–
To the western mountains’ edge
It does, perhaps, draw near.

Alongside the path
Fresh water flows, and
In the willow’s shade
Just for a little while
Would I take my ease…

photo friday: at rest
Being great, it flows.
It flows far away.
Having gone far, it returns.*
