WATERLILIES II O silvery moons complete and round Singing of stillness and not of sound Fluffy white clouds floating & fleeting The weeping willows send their greeting Blue skies are kissing the waters too All mirrored in a clear pool of dew The serene sweet silence they convey Swiftly transforms the summer's day Bringing fragrance to the morning air O cease this moment, thou art so fair Suddenly time has come to a stop The Now-Moment before Basho's "Plop!" Waterlilies blossoming here and there Dancing in eternal joy everywhere! — Peter Y. Chou Paris, 7-28-1979 |
