river views are best before the bend
within a wide swath of deceptive greenery
water rushes past to a dam
filled with memories of winding mountain streams
hidden from Taichung squalor beyond the fall
roads round its dykes like a race track
circling Fengyuan in the distance
so unlike a river replenishing itself
with no intention of turning back
i find nature by biding time
oblivious to what is out of sight
or making plans with ideas
in every moment here and now
like tall grass that bends in shallow breeze
clouds shade the sun passing by
as the river turns dark and light
