The pear-blossoms dance along with the winds, under the moon is bright.
How did people of old who cry out their sadness in the misty night?
Here and there, it remains that the poems and paintings which sang of tears.
It’s the reason farmers’re filling the fruits with tears and sending the pears.

Hi! Orchidee
Thank you so much for your kind comments.
from Li Bai, to Basho , to Kim Sowol
inked words of poetic transparency
detailing the toil of nations
amassing crimes against nature
with each generation
defiling the perfect blossoms
we inherited and setting fire
to those forest's of hope...
yet, still
once more, somewhere
beneath modernity's
foggy skies and satellite stars
a daring poet, picks up
that timeless ink of Poesy
to word his generations lament
wording humanity's tears
adding to our inherited culture
in that sea of poetry, we
read to seek a path to a mercy
we dare to hope as our
key to a salvation, we know
we don't deserve..
Hi! L.B.
