LOOKING FOR YUNG, THE RECLUSE MASTER

Emerald peaks polish heaven. I wander,
weeping clouds away, forgetting years,

looking for the ancient Way. Resting
against a tree, I listen to streamwater,

black ox dozing among warm blossoms,
white crane asleep in towering pines.

A voice calls through river-tinted dusk,
but I’ve descended into cool mist alone.
