Serenity

Ellen Marsell

Like a meditation on the way

wind blows, snow falls, biting frost.

The tree shivers and stays upright.

In the sky of Korea run the clouds

like little gods and capricious kids

On the hillside the smiling buddha

look down at the valley, his hand

inviting you for a cup of tea.

The young monk, his golden gown

dancing in the blizzard welcomes you.

You cross the stony threshold,

very friendly are the old dragons!

Silence on the calm morning

bringing light on the winter path.
