Poem Artwork

Alone I sit at the bottom
Of a low-lying valley,
Practicing my routine—
Absentmindedness;
My feelings are broad—
What an easygoingness!
The mountain's foot
Is girdled with the gauze
Of the violet clouds;
Winds at the vale’s gorge
Hiss and whiz all morn;
Monkeys arrive—
The trees are trembled
And shuddered;
Birds enter the woods,
Chirping and twittering—
Since recently, I’ve started
To hearing them all.
Urged now by the time—
My temples rustle and sough;
Towards my old age
I’m frequently compelled
To deal with vexation of spirit.

Some good imagery, I know those monkeys (I've seen them and don't like them, too unpredictable and can be nasty even when unprovoked), an easy mood that ends mysteriously with "vexation of spirit." Interesting read. John

Like coming out of unconsciousness, realizing what
you haven't been paying attention too.

Always,
Deborah
