What else is there,
but words to bridge the distance
past seen and unseen-
the moon rises in fullness;
faraway hearts beat as one.

above the moon
beyond horizon's end
the faint but clear
sound of the flute
of the zenmaster

What else is there,
but words to bridge the distance
past seen and unseen-
the moon rises in fullness;
faraway hearts beat as one.

above the moon
beyond horizon's end
the faint but clear
sound of the flute
of the zenmaster

or the calling of willows
sighing the echo
of spring's passing
singing us into
the oncoming storms
the lullaby of
swaying branches.

Oh, such dreamy images you offer for my fantasy to play with...    ~P

or the calling of willows
sighing the echo
of spring's passing
singing us into
the oncoming storms
the lullaby of
swaying branches.

In spring's passing,
willows sway in the soft breeze
in fullness-
they echo silent pond ripples;
the silence of gathered clouds.

Such ethereal, mystical images you share.... ~P

above the moon
beyond horizon's end
the faint but clear
sound of the flute
of the zenmaster

The flute's rising sound
mingles with the cry of gulls
drifting off-
to where ocean and sky meet;
barefoot shadows on the sand.

Thank you Amy, I think that PIP is certainly proof of that bridging worlds, cultures, through a common bond of feelings and often heartfelt words....    ~P
