the aging bones-
blowing on the east wind
flurries fine and dry settle on
new graves....

East wind whistles
Flutes of green bamboo;
Zen lullaby

Painted by East wind
Cascades of colour in air
Tall trees are now bare
Looking down on flown offspring
Proud of what they have created...

a single owl screech
breaks the silence,
the Hunter's moon
waxes blue
ice chills the aging bones-
blowing on the east wind
flurries ,fine and dry
settle on her grave....

brisk east wind

Flowers were seen covering the tree yesterday, 
Today they have fallen into the pond in decay.
The hard blow of the east wind is not to blame,
Blooming and withering are naturally the same.

COLD, blows the North wind
Chilling us to the bones

WARM, blows the South wind
Up from the temperate zones

GENTLE, blows the East wind
Stirring leaves with a sigh

STRONG, blows the West wind
Scattering clouds across the sky...

Der Wind aus Osten
Treibt schon Schnee über das Land
Am späten Herbsttag



The wind from the east
Drifts already snow across the land
At late autumn day



El viento del este
Ya flota nieve a través de la tierra
En un día de otoño...

PREDATOR  EAST WIND



Her  skeletal penetrating fingers
Find a cold way into the least crack with ease.
Burst pipes with sorcerous  wand.
Silently freeze the pond
With  her sly icy feast of water. 
Will kill off last year’s life; can
Pry the warm flesh off old autumn
Leaves  - only cold bones....

Bit sunshine squinter
At end of winter.
gather light splinter.
Before long they were
Engaged in sweet myrrh.
Watched it disappear
Never hearing fear.

Fall in love Pleasure
Seasons fruits treasure
Land reclaimed leisure
Patient roster Bows
Hungry Cat's meow
A faint east wind moaned
Early Spring Postponed.

The East

The East wind is cold 
and is full of hoarfrost. 
It crosses the land, 
in a wild storm, raging!
It is heavy with hail, 
and larger black rocks...
of mud and dirt.  
It contains fist-sized stones, 
to hammer the land
into a new shape.
Soon the west 
will be unrecognizable.
and foreign 
to those that live there....

In a forest clearing,
a doe worried and wary,
looks up to the noon sky;
peers through the bushes,
sniffs at the east wind,
listens to swaying leaves
... it's still safe.


Nearby, her nimble fawn
fumbles and stumbles
on a grassy, mossy mound,
playfully leaps around,
circles, dances on and on,
jumps over a rotting 
... paw of a lion !!...

I am not a poet
Nor an author
But I look at the sky
I forecast the weather

Dark days are ahead, friends
It is going to rain
Look at the cloudy sky
It tells of weeks of coming pain

No, years rather
For the east wind is on us
A bullet for you, brother
Every fine home shall rust

So be good, reader
There is no excuse in war
It hears from no one
Neither looks at tears...

the beast from the East... winter snow in March
drifting six foot high... monsters
the East wind doth blow snow

Above the deep blue clouds, i
overhear you hauling like the east wind
kissing all over my neck, where i
lay, so beautiful as the butterfly wing

which I cannot catch
only to feel the lifelong soothe
you offer before the sun hatch
and discomfort me in my suit

ample _ sweats falls like tears
from the rain down to my ring
you never stop flirting with my ears
times you come by and sing....

Flow! Flow! Flow!
Thou sea of silence
Carrying friends and foes
Alike.
The gentle sounds of 
Waves lapping thru the
Evening like a moving
Mountain.
 Blow! Blow! Blow!
Thou east wind,thy 
Tender hands caress our 
Gliding bark as we break 
Into the warm waters.
Look! The sun gazes at 
These sea-farers whose 
Quest we know not.
Far beyound the horizon
Lies treasures of untold 
Measures....
