"Zither and books are up to you
but wealth and power are useless
send back the carriage and heed the wise wife.." – Cold Mountain











The wide eyed traveler follows
the day's long flow of sunshine
as if it were his private crate of gold
back home the rivers crest
and the great herons stand in thin snow
as they pluck at spring fish
sun or rain by April there you are
only ghosts patrol by dreams
