willows bent to greet each other,
squirrels traded their gossip in the foliage,
the brook laughed as it ran over the shingles below,

a)while a cold, dead silence reigned.

b)like a tattered ribbon caught between the rocks

c)and the willful wind whispered what it wished.

d)like a wounded wayfarer, weary and wanting rest.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス
