Simplicity

A dog barks amid the sound of waters,

Peach blossoms dark, bearing dew.

Where trees are thickest, sometimes

see a deer,

And when noon strikes the ravine,

hear no bell.

Bamboo of wilderness split through

blue haze,

A cascade in flight, hung from an

emerald peak.

But no one knows where you've gone--

Disappointed, I linger among these

few pines.

A dog barks amid the sound of waters,

Peach blossoms dark, bearing dew.

Where trees are thickest, sometimes

And when noon strikes the ravine,

hear no bell.

Bamboo of wilderness split through

blue haze,

A cascade in flight, hung from an

emerald peak.

But no one knows where you've gone--

Disappointed, I linger among these

few pines.
