Now the eye can see: as far as the citygate marking the pier, village greenswatered by the creek, bordering plowedfields yet to come, emerald peaksrising behind hills. With the advent of spring, it is now time tosow and toil. edited by dyuan on 10/25/2015*

Embarking in the early eve, I steer a light craft. Rising, the moon rotates, along the mountain peaks. Flowing, the waters follow the whirlingsky. Are we on the Milky Way? Or, roving in a grove of fine clouds.

Iam approaching home at last.
