The wind whimpered with gale winds
That homeward to roost the birds it sends
Over clear lakes with white rimmed sands
To woven branches to roost it lands.
Leaves roughly ripped from bowing trees
Reluctantly lets it’s greenery to flee
To fall into streams rushing to the lake
Swirling which ever direction it takes
By the rocks beneath roosting bird call
Flying in the mist over the waterfall.
I watch from my perch well won
As clouds hurry to cover the sun
I have made this tall climb alone
To watch where the wild is home
And wait for the storming to begin
And wash away my passage’s sin.

Gloom
Inspired by the T’ang Dynasty’s great poet Du Fu
from the poem of the same name.

Intensely beautiful.
