Spring water is pure in an emerald stream
moonlight is white on Cold Mountain
silence thoughts and the spirit becomes clear
focus on emptiness and the world grows still

Very beautiful.
I’m glad you think so.
why is it that ‘Cold Mountain’ gets me every time…
I think because you identify with that quest for peace.
Yes
Have you watched the youtube movie on Cold Mountain?
Thanks for sharing this. I had not seen it before but enjoyed it immensely. And I have to admit, I loved seeing the humor in Gary Snyder. I wish I had my 24 Poems he translated here in Turkey but will have to wait till I go back to the US and unbox all my books to find it again as well as his other work. Also seeing Burton Watson was a real treat for me since I love his work. And, of course, hearing them all read the work with the Mandarin accompanying it was really fine. Thanks again.
I knew you’d like it 😎
Yes, very much. Thanks again.
Wow! beautifully weaved words! Thanks for sharing such a profound work.
Glad you like his poem.
Pleasure was mine reading beautifully crafted poem, Looking forward to reading more!
There are more already on this site if you search his name. And, of course, other Chinese poets whose work you might like as well.
Sure!
