Rendezvous with Nature -- 7

Mt. Fuji, Japan (1997)

Mount Fuji and the Poet (excerpt)

Here is a poet

a poet singing of the magnificent symmetry of Fuji

Fuji, forgive me tonight for no reason

tears keep coming as I gaze up at you

A poet weeping

gazing up at the loftiest of the earth with its light of perfection

Calm days,like a dream in the empty sky,clouds born from it,Fuji the object of love --life burning deep within him,in the flux of the Great Art,here is a poet enamored of Fuji
