The moon rising
In our minds over snow
Capped mountains glows
Softly on plum blossoms

We sit together
On the balcony
Watching time go by
As we sip rice wine

How good it is
Finally to be with you
Understanding each other
As we do

It’s the company
We’re compelled
To keep my love
That makes us small

a fine 'write'!

I am particularly fond of the beginning and ending:

"The moon rising
In our minds over snow
Capped mountains glows
Softly on plum blossoms"

AND:

"It’s the company
We’re compelled
To keep my love
That makes us small(!)"

[for me, that ending 'sums up' the typical corporate
  'mediocratic' (workplace) environments of the "Runaway
  American Dream" especially effectively.]

sustained applause for this 'penning'!
