Notes About The Poem

 

Cassia Tree

'cause I'M Wonderless

Driven by courage and inherent strength;
Dream of worlds vanish, transcending forward.
Wonder-less towards the horizon length,
Vagrant clouds sail with the wind's breath northward.

Dream of worlds vanish, transcending forward
Desert path, mountain valleys enraptured.
Vagrant clouds sail with the wind's breath northward
Between O-Cassia trees and recaptured.

Desert path, mountain valleys enraptured,
Fumbling golden flowers on the branches,
Between O-Cassia trees, and recaptured
Outstretched towards sway of shining patches.

Fumbling golden flowers on the branches
Wonder-less towards the horizon length,
Outstretched towards sway of shining patches
Driven by courage and inherent strength.
