The leaves of willow
Wave slightly in morning breeze;
Faint rustling heard.
Emaciated,
The silent bows of willow
Bend under the leaves.
Blooms carried aloft
Cast dappled, moving shadows
On wind-swept grassland.
Willow stands silent,
A beautiful autumn morn,
Bells ringing faintly.
Drooping willow leaves
Dip slightly into water,
Ripples emanate.
Autumnal winds blow,
Colored leaves scratch on the ground:
Winter is coming.
a single tree
alone in the ground…
I’ll plant company
willows’ leaves
glide lazily across
the smooth water
I sit beneath
the willow tree
and write
rain pummels
the ocean’s waves;
o, the music!
the ant crawls onto my waiting finger
a waterfall
shimmers down
the mountainside
thunder claps;
the mountains resonate
under the water
of the river:
silt
sunlight shines
through the trees;
rustling leaves
