At Home in the Summer Mountains
I've come to the house of the Immortals:
In every corner, wildflowers bloom.
In the front garden, trees
Offer their branches for drying clothes;
Where I eat, a wine glass can float
In the springwater's chill.
From the portico, a hidden path
Leads to the bamboo's darkened groves.
Cool in a summer dress, I choose
From among heaped piles of books.
Reciting poems in the moonlight, riding a painted boat . . .
Every place the wind carries me is home.
- Yu Xuanji

Beautiful poem, it reminded me of David Shenk's "The Immortal Game". I always appreciated Asian poets for the clarity of their style and the depth of the emotions they convey. My Favorite Japanese Poet is Santoka Taneda, he was a Soto Zen Buddhist priest, he wrote haikus and lived from 1882 to 1940.

"Every place the wind carries me is home." this is a gorgeous metaphor, it's quite similar with what Russell Targ wrote in "Do you see what I see? Memoirs of a blind biker" one of my favourite books ever written: "Conditioned Awareness is where we live our lives in guilt over the past and anxiety over the future and never get to experience the present."

You have a very nice poem here. Maybe you should try to participate in poetry contests and who knows... you could some of your poems published in a real book.

Very inspiring poem. You are writing here about the freedom that creativity and imagination can provide us with, right? At least that is what I feel like when I read your poem here.
