Endless World Conflicts
Inspired by an ancient poem. V
Bamboo-cooled breezes pervade my chamber.
Blinking stars appear and disappear.
Roaming moonbeams invade each container.
Laden dewdrops into gobbets cohere.
Self-lit fireflies pepper the dark.
Calling water birds herald the dawn.
Thinking of myriad lances clashing in vain.
Tormented, sleepless, I follow the night.
