Gracefully swimming
The sea turtle heads homeward
Across the wild reef.

The pond is silent
A frog jumps into the quiet
We hear the water

Along the pond's edge
The trees weep pink and white tears
For winter's passing

In mountain hot springs
The winter cold can not reach
The clever monkey

We stand tall and proud
And admire our reflection
In the water's deep

Grey clouds cast shadows
On the world waiting below
But the sun will come

Looking for answers
Where the sky meets the ocean
At the horizon

The sound of water
Echoes on the jagged cliffs
when Spring comes calling

When the winter sun
Shines on the surface, it shows
Reflections of snow

The Valley of Ice
Leads the eye towards the sun
Which warms the cold heart

The sun in winter
Slowly rises in the east
From the morning mist

We followed the path
Which wound its way down the hill
To the lakes below

My days swept away
Winding down life's long valley
Borne by the river
