High on a slope
Of Cold Mountain
From a ledge
No one else can reach

Solomon in his solitude
Beyond reason or wisdom
Lazarus after sleep

Cynical Diogenes
Without his lantern
Grim looks
And narrowed eyes

And then suddenly
Without any warning

A southern wind
Brings a scent of flowers
From across the sea

Oh yeah what a way to realize the preciousness of it all.

That is a wake up with a soft wind slap.

Superb!

"...suddenly

A southern wind

From across the sea"
