storied cliffs have been the fortune I cast
bird trails past human tracks
what surrounds my yard
white clouds nesting darkish rocks
I've lived the following various years
and constantly noticeable the spring-water change
tell these individuals with tripods and bells
empty names are not any rattling good
71.
someone sits in a mountain gorge
cloud gown sundown tassels
handful of fragrances he'd share
the street is lengthy and hard
regretful and doubtful
old and unaccomplished
the crowd calls him crippled
he stands on my own steadfast
205.
my position is on chilly Mountain
perched on a cliff past the circuit of affliction
images depart no hint after they vanish
I roam the total galaxy from here
lights and shadows flash throughout my mind
not one dharma comes sooner than me
since i discovered the magic pearl
I can pass anyplace all over it really is perfect
Cold Mountain
A mountain guy lives lower than thatch
before his gate carts and horses are rare
the wooded area is quiet yet a fan of birds
the streams are extensive and residential to fish
with his son he alternatives wild fruit
with his spouse he hoes among rocks
what does he have at home
a shelf filled with not anything yet books
