Tangled light and dark
Water gushes over stones
Swift shadows falling.
Tangled light and dark
Water gushes over stones
Swift shadows falling.
Mountains melt in clouds
Shadows merge with silhouettes
Final glow of day.
Cool waters falling
Flowers bathe in gentle mist
Blooming all summer.
Dawn floods deep valley
Mountains float on sinking clouds
Ships in sea of sky.
Water jumping down
Steep slippery shelves of stone
Many ways to flow.
Shapes softened by time
Each peak folds into the next
Endless horizon.
Poised on pale petals
Butterfly sips sweet nectar
Harvest of summer.
Thick tangle of leaves
Frames rain fed rushing river
Stone floats on water.
Clouds stitch earth and sky
Soft cover for sharp mountains
Tinting with new dawn.
