A couple of ravens circled over Dad and I while hiking the Waterboro Pine Barrens a few weeks ago. It was during hunting season and I suspect they were looking to follow us to a gut pile. Clever birds!

52.
daylong they seem drunk
don’t stop at all for years
buried beneath weeds
dawn must be dim
flesh and bones vanished completely
souls about withered away
notwithstanding iron-snapping jaws
helpless to chant the old sutras

a black-maned roan and coral whip
fly down Lo Yang Road
a complacent handsome youth
doesn’t expect old age
but white hair will surely appear
and red cheeks won’t keep long
just look at Pei Mang Mountain
there’s the Isle of Immortals

beneath high cliffs I lie alone
steaming clouds don’t fade all day
my hut might be dim
but my mind is free of noise
off dreaming I visited golden gates
my spirit returned when I crossed Stone Bridge
I left behind what burdened me
my dipper in the trees click clack

an old lady to the east
got rich a few years ago
before poorer than me
she laughs that I’m broke
she laughs that I’m behind
I laugh that she’s ahead
we laugh like we won’t stop
from the east and from the west

your maid’s lived in Han Tan
her singing has the lilt
make use of her refuge
this song has long been long
you're drunk don’t talk of going
stay the day’s not done
where you sleep tonight
her quilt fills a silver bed
#Hanshan #Coldmountain #poem #poetry #redpine
(continued from above)
happy with a rock for a pillow
let Heaven and Earth transform

people ask the way to Cold Mountain
roads don’t reach Cold Mountain
summer the ice never melts
sunup the fog is thick
how did someone like me arrive
our minds aren't the same
if they were
you could get there then

Sunset during winter can be so colourful with the snow reflecting the colours. In this photo you can see some of Fox Haven’s red pines with the lake behind them. #redpine #wintersunset #ontariowilderness #ontariocanada
