Poetry
The Mountain-Drifter
The world only a rumor
Hard to leave, unwavering
In exile and posterity;
Unison as untroubled
As the breeze, touching nothing
But the moonlight with the darkest
Intimacy. Here to make
What is difficult easy,
The call of the heart is simple:
The only place we are heard
Is in silence; the summit
Never rises above the ground.
