Winter Juniper

On a windy January day,
talking to you
and sniffing at the berries,

surprised at your scent
fresh and sweet as summer's day!

winter gray evening
feeling down to the ground
writing to an old friend 
sudden sunlight fills in my heart
wakes the dozing Spring maiden

Human Body and Mind, like children in need of discipline

After several months of suffering 
from insomnia, finally, it returned to normal;
practicing the right regiment worked,
I thought, but this time it goes oppositely: 

sleeping too much; like the more money 
we have, the more money we want.
Luckily, we have a choice 
 to control our minds.

Morning Where I Live

Oh, so much clamors
of Kaka-doodle-doo,
from across the pasture, urging:
wake up you dream-mongers;
time is flying ten years per your snooze.

Dogs barking at the usual old man
in the red cape,
walking with a yellow Labrador.
Blackbirds chirp wildly,
flying from tree to tree;
loneliness flies out of my window
to greet the world; cheers!
