Many Mountains

Twilight is a peek into two worlds –
one projects above while the other reflects
upon Lake Jenny.

Ghostly Aspens whisper in dusky show:
the colors of release.

A blue moon finds a rare night.
Elk leap through the valley,
lords between pinnacles.

On a backdrop of slate,
a wooden cross dresses
in a white coat.

I love it, Corinne...you got me not only thinking of your own mountains in your area, but those of other climes and places...

which makes this a universal poem!

Gawd ... I do love the images in this one. So much to see from so few lines. Beautiful view from here.

p.s I tried to beat Karilea here..but she won.

and I am haunted
by my illicit exquisite dream
but I can't really wake up
so I just drift in between

Cor,  this hold such great imagery,  and at
the same time,  a bit of haunt,  of silence
and the feel that something is yet to be
seen from this.  Excellently presented, yepper!

Corinne,

Reminds me of Wang Wei...

John

Green Creek

To get right down to Yellow Flower River
I often follow the waters of Green Creek.
They wind around the mountains endlessly—
A path straight there would run a few score miles.

There are sounds of water crashing on tumbled stones;
Scenes of silence deep within the pines.
Water chestnut and water fringe float on the ripples;
Still limpid waters mirror the reeds.

My mind is unencumbered, at its ease now,
Clear and tranquil, as the river is.
Come, stay a while, rest upon this stone—
Cast out a fishing line, and let things be.

Wang Wei
