Treasure Hunting

Hunting for treasure poems;
Midst summer morn~
I am adrift in the wilderness.


All of a sudden~
a European euphony soars
like a midnight sonata
in pianissimo and decrescendo.

I run to chase the symphony~
and to my delight,
a lilac light leads 
a perfumed path
to a wondrous woodland.

And there I find 
a precious poem~
written in the purple petal
of a wildflower.
