I follow my impulsive feet wherever they might go
My body is a pine tree surrounded by the snow
Sometimes I simply stand beside a flowing stream
Sometimes I chase a drifting cloud past another peak

Intriguing, slow, still, sometimes a bit boring but wondering where this is going. Like it.

What does the spring wind have in mind,
coming day and night to these groves and gardens?

but blows away their crimson without a word.

Don't ask why I shut my gate-
from times past, few comings and goings.

the body's best suited to vacant idleness.
On four sides green moss surrounds me,
my lone window dotted with rain spatters.
And where do dream-wanderings take me?
To where autumn is coloring the riverside hills...
