Upon Harriet Island

[Lake]

(Missed the Earth Day activities this year. Here is the one written last year.)


Upon Harriet Island
- Composed on Earth Day, April 22nd

Embellished with sailing kites,
calm and serene the azure sky.
Blue, the Mississippi river;
green, the budding twigs.
The sun, the breeze,
the earthy smells and flowers.
Loons dive and pop up;
birds mate and take off.

If anyone asks,
“How many more springs?”
I answer:
Over the bamboo groves
wind chimes tinkle; from our
Mother Earth resound
the voices of many
to the wild blue yonder -
I dream,
I wish,
I rise.

高兴见到 Kino. 常回家看看。

嗯，第一次听有人说看不懂我的东西。

就是地球人表达心声吧。
