Jisei thoughts at dawn
imagining that walk
through deserts, woods and towns
a last poem
this grey dawn
the cock crows thrice
not even a crow caws
walking a Silk Road
into a new adventure
through the desert
summer sunshine wans
in the woods – trees turn bright red
the sparrows are gone
as the fall rains begin
my thoughts turn to winter

Your Jisei is so moving, cara, especially the last stanza…I’m not sure I can write mine. I did write something 25 years ago when studying Gerontology…I have to think about this one .
