The Moisture of the Morning Dew

Bamboo forest
you are so beautiful...
Why?
Is it because
of your soothing colors?
Is it due
to your earthly textures?
Is it the way
you gently sway
and play with the winds?
Is it your gracefulness
that I treasure?
What are the secrets
of your pleasure?
The way you reach
for the sky,
as if it was made
just for you.
The way you inhabit
your piece of earth,
bathing in the evening rains
and sucking up the morning dew.

You know this is about the most beautiful thing you have ever written James, just simply serene scene setting.

We had a windscreen of bamboo once. It IS
so strong, stately, and tall! It took a backhoe to remove them when they re-landscaped. Like musical windchimes, they flute, and make a kind of music even as they grow skyward. I liked the poem very much,the gentle touch of thought to an unusual icon of nature.
