In a quiet Zen garden the wind sweeps away the fallen petals from the cherry blossom In the mountain's shadow covered with snow white mountain peaks touch the sky under the morning sun Intertwining and resonating with each other the essence of beauty a beaten path of truth This life was not traditional though my mind longed to view such strange dreams I looked from the outside through a window painted by time I am a stranger in my being I am fickle and insane my soul has no fixed pattern I have no conformity I acquire my own

Beautiful poem Sotto. The first two verses are pretty pictures, and I especially like the third stanza. Your poems make me think.

"I am a stranger in my being"-- that's me, too. What a creative way to express yourself. Beautiful work!
