The shadow of a pine tree


Light or dark
is decided by
the shadow of a pine tree, who
stretches her arms
ahead of
an ordinary
day of
May



Abstract --- reading Paul Klee (6. The Color of Orange)

is invading
in blue, which

Abstract --- reading Paul Klee (5. Hermitage)


5. Hermitage

Living in hermitage
is a process
of constructing
a colorful sanctuary
inside an unknown structure -
surrounded by
a greater
unknown

Abstract --- reading Paul Klee (4. My Fairy Tale)



4. My fairy tale

The spotlight
is on an ancient arena ---
a warrior was fighting alone
oversea
Shattered helmet and bloody spear
tangled with
unknown devils - that's how
the legend was passed on
that's how
my fairy tale
is
told

Abstract --- reading Paul Klee (3. The World That Once Surrounded Fishes)


3. The world that once surrounded fishes*



The world
that was once surrounded by fish
had lost
inside a geometric
fishbowl
thus the fish became naked ---
they gazed at
each other
while consuming
the rest of
seaweeds


Abstract --- reading Paul Klee (2. Floating Ladder)


2. Floating Ladder 



A floating ladder
is pointing to the winter Moon, yet
a sunlit day is climbing
along the ladder
painting the sky
with bright color of
June



Abstract --- reading Paul Klee (1.Line)

A line
was extracted from
a monochrome surface, thus
thought is born
inside a finite form, which
leads to
infinity

My Story Under Sea


My story
was conceived in water
born on rising tide
told
by a fisherman and his boat

My story contains chapters
that intertwine like seaweeds, which
conceal secrets of life
within  shadows that lie on seabed

My story grows
like other creatures under sea
absorbs salted water
breathes melted sunshine
and moonlight

My story
is a mystery
a mystery that displays scenarios
with anticipations, yet
surprises, like ever-increasing ripples
perplex
fisherman
and his boat

Spring


Spring, my frozen body thawed
by
the brightness of day
the sound of wind
and the aimlessly shaking of trees ---

Oh whom should I blame
for my already senseless heart
is gonna be broken again
by
the careless touches of
fledgling green

Signore, ascolta!


Yes, through a gentle sigh in the dark
I heard her, Signore
she is a woman ---

Her sigh is like a pearl
dropping on the icy face of grief
with each quivering of ripples
she redefines winter landscape

Her bodyline winds through shores
like wind, pushes waves to a end of sea
where --- she captures glimmer of moonlight
turns darkness into sunrise

Her voice rises with the Sun
by each melodic tone
she turns the sorrow into music
music into comfort --- in which

she embraces us
with her mighty love of grace

Oh Signore, ascolta!
She is a woman
The Mother of the Universe!



This poem is inspired by Signore, ascolta* sung by Maria Callas*Signore, ascolta --- aria from opera Turandot, composed by Giacomo Puccini. "Signore, ascolta" is Italian means "Lord, listen" in English.
