Bamboo shoots

Bamboo shoots

I am at peace in a land of dreams.

The creatures of nightmare may scream,

But I am serene in my bamboo garden.

Waterfalls, wooden instruments, whistle their winding calls

And all attune are the birds of Eden.

I have never found love in this place of pure Earth,

And rockeries, but no broccoli please.

I only need pretty flowers to see,

For I am no vegetarian.

I am finding it hard to care again,

But here I sit with the peace within,

My garden.

The bonsai trees and fallen leaves,

And little streams which flows like dreams,

Forever winding in any direction

And at the end their resurrection.

Another dream is reborn once more,

To take me away to another world

And all is well as I stare into the bottom of an empty well.

Waiting for water,

Waiting for another story,

There is always more to tell to her,

But she is not here to know of her glory.

So I will speak, for I must…

I DO NOT TRUST!

I will tell in the hope that one day,

I will be able to find myself again.
