Amidst water lily fields white and green
Grows a tree
And from the tree hang apples
Not for you to eat.
In a way it matters more
Than it did before
To see the East voyaging through
True hearts of dunes
Mirth
Birth
Reverie
There in harmony
Somersault caravans of fools
As he passes for reply
To sing his songs again.
He sways to kiss the horizontal ground
And from the ground a dove rises
And as a mark of honor
A mask is left behind
Mirth
Birth
Reverie
There in harmony
To gentle form and noble force
Calm
