fragrant moonlit gardens

wandering blue moon
inspires my heart's deep yearning
for that which I cannot reach...
sky-high white lantern
lighting or not the dark sky
why has my life gone awry?

orange harvest moon
how do I touch your folly?
through empathy or sadness?
guardian of my path
can true love's light say goodbye?
will darkness not answer why?

now, wandering heart,
from fragrant moonlit gardens
I gaze upon thee once more...
white light bathes this love
and my hundred year bonsai
pleasures I cannot deny...
