Poem 30 of 35
Mirror and Ghost
A seed from the flower has fallen from the sky and looks upward,
overshadowed by the shade that swallows the third.
“Light, I desire light,” were the desires of the seed.
“Mirror in the sky, lend me your ghost for what I need.”
Winds took flight to carry the lost around.
Forests deep in thought dream without a sound.
Songbirds chirp with a melodic song.
“Oh, where, oh where, does a little seed belong?
Mr. Fox, Mr. Bear, and Mr. Wolf all guard sacred land.
I have no feet, yet with them shall I stand.”
A land of whispers and a mirror in the sky,
reflections of a ghost left to wonder why.
Enchanted fountains of water made pure.
Lightning and fire cleanse the jade eye crafted from allure.
“I'll seek what I desire the most.
I'll venture forth with Mommy Moon and Ghost.”
My dreams and whims are for all to know.
Finally, I found my clearing; it is time for me to grow.
