Reverie

The black swans are quiet
and there is no wind today
the river is calm with only
the slightest ripples

the last time i was here
i could hear the waterfalls
roaring beyond the mountains
the reverie; the strength of sound

there is baby's tears all over
the forest floor; like god had
spread open a green blanket
i yearn to lay down upon them

ancient tree, you blush again 
shedding your old wise skin,
a black panther sleeps in a nook
of your sun-reaching limbs

birds circle the juicy tree tops
but it's orchids that love me most
they always remain the same,
tongues ready for a passing bee
