Young boy running by
With many colors as bloom,
Leaving his dew prints.

With days long, still the path goes on,
Before dawn, a peaking sun comes,
Then boy runs, puffing up the hill,
To the crest, and beyond then back
The boy walks, bowing with respect,
Without talk, Zhan continues on.

There was a large gate,
That began a path upwards,
It was fenceless gate,
Marks a path going onwards
At the gate now flowers wait

Silk dress stepping small
Approaches the gateway so slow
Zhan waits by gate with no wall
No hurry to go.
Bowing with a smile
Young woman greets politely,
Zhan then talks a while,
Her eyes down speaks quietly,
She then gathers the flowers
Holding them in white silk embrace
Smells deep of each the colors
Immersing her pretty face

With a bow he’s gone
His travels are yet still long
But with the pausing
Finds a memory causing
An accompanying song

and your poetry opens a fenceless gate...
   You did it again-left me in thought! Being a farmer, fenceless gates are pretty powerful images!  Enjoyed the fine imagery here (running lad, hills, walless gates, flowers held in embrace, white silken )
   A good day to you,
               Sadie
