The Return Ascent
Climb not to conquer the mountain,
but to meet the stillness
that has been waiting for you.
Sun through winter branches
Terraced pools and pavilion
Stream through autumn reeds
Forrest floor in Autumn light
Silence
Red notes in a quiet wood
A silent forest in blue depth
Autumns colors in mirror water
In the heart of the current
Yellow leaves that catch the last light
Mountain breathing in the clouds
Mist on layered ridges
