Visions

Walking to the tea house
Under a clear blue sky
Mount Fuji soaring
Majestic to the eye.

Blossom in the air 
Being blown around 
Until a gentle breeze
Drops it to the ground.

Afternoon with a Geisha 
Taking ceremonial tea
Listening to the sound
Of the rolling sea.

Kimono rustling,
Sound of finest silk
Mounded to a body,
Colour of Buttermilk.

Exquisite smiles from
Behind a painted fan,
Imagined images from
This strange, exotic land.

Maybe one day I'll visit
If fortune is kind: 
Until then I'll keep it 
Gently in my mind.
