Born in Time | Wednesday May 20, 2009
Rebellious rocks pierce the sky
Frightening waves rip the bank
The backwash churns vast snowy swells --
River and mountains like a painting
how many heroes passed them, once ...
While masts and oars vanished to flying ash and smoke!
I roam through ancient realms
Absurdly moved
Turned to gray too soon --
A man's life passes like a dream --
Pour out a cup then, to the river, and the moon .
[excerpt[ Battle of the Red Cliffs
Su Tung-po
(1037 - 1101 / China)

I am currently in the land of red rock... (PEI, Canada) It is startling to the senses at first!
