The Chant Royal Questionku

O wisdom great
that taught me new thoughts:
Is death not part of life?

A Chant Royal
lingers on your mind
Why can't you let it go?

Walk the mountain
up onto the top:
Do you know Fuji San?

Snowflakes await
your footprints to come 
Won't you trust Fuji San?

O wisdom great
O Chant Royal, wait
How can't you let me go?

Wow! I must write these compliments from The Master of Words on a big certificate and hang it above the chimney for the visitors to see that I am the greatest poet of this century! Thank you, Rick! (^_^)
