Poet Atop A Mountain

Poet Atop A Mountain

The poet unfraught
   after an arduous climb
to the mountain top
   attempts to describe the view
with limited use of words. 
               ***


Poet On A Mountain Top by Shen Zhou, (Chinese, 1427-1509)
(translation from Indiana University)

White clouds sash-like
   wrap mountain waists,
The rock terrace flies in space
   distant, a narrow path.
Leaning on a bramble staff
   far and free I gaze,
To warble of valley brook
   I will reply, whistling.
                ***
