Spirits Jade

Music bestows
Its heart within
The falling fountain

Laurel blooms
Splash pink and white
Silk slipper mountain

Skip, in quizzical relief
Of pen and ink
The fates bequeath

In fingers running
Softly vertical
The stroke of noon

As this, a quiet place
The spirits sway.
They dance presuming
Shadow play in shade

Green, in ever happiness
Is played
Fall down, fall down

Run rivers with the sound
Content about the pool
Remain as jade, imprints bejewel

Festival of shade and shine
Glimmer in the eyes of time
Beseech a day, move effortlessly
In mandarin spray

Again, the spill
Continuous from full to nil
A fountain sings of many things
Left dangling

to be or not to be,  that was once the
question....and now, the question is,

"what's up Doc??"

Nicely done my  friend, and welcome home...
good to have you on the boards

ThisDiamond,

I'm afraid I couldn't get into this one.  It doesn't seem to make much sence.
