Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest
And I smile , and am silent
And even my soul remains quiet
It lives in the other world
Which no one owns
The peach trees blossom.
The water flows

Poem written by Li Po.

now thats some fine poetry

I agree with mark
to say something with such economy of words
that shakes the soul
is art that makes one say, hell yes !

It was a bedazzling day in Portland- I was going to go to a -sound meditation" meeting-
And when I got there it was twenty bucks
So I went to the bookstore and metaphysical toy store- it is an expensive last resort for sage
And stones
Etc
I went over by the books
-li po - must have been there with me
There his poetry glistened like a tigers eye
In the metaphysical bookstore-
And I thought of all of you
The singing bowls were nice too.
I feel sometimes I am being led around
That my powers of observation be keen
I hear the train and the distance
I have so many choices
I'm not sure where to begin- should I paint?
Should I bake a cake?
Peace

I like the poem, too. Nice. Concise.

(I don't understand the numbers in the title. Hmm... Is it dedicated to Li Po?)

very beautiful creativesoul. We are the deep era who create wonders of worlds never before known by others. I love it!

beautiful poem creativesoul!

Doreen, the numbers appear to be the time Li Po lived on this earth in physical form.

i often find my self reminiscing on that other world, which as you say here, no one owns. awesome!

i had a love affair with portland for many years. love powell's but i found many good books at the goodwill on burnside. i left my heart in multnomah village. keep writing hard!

Li po wrote it- those numbers are when it was written

Ohhhh... OK... well, it's not clear. Everybody thought you wrote it.

So, anyway, we abide by this on this site that if you post something somebody else wrote, using the quote code to indicate you're quoting someone else. In this case, it hasn't anything to do with copyright since Li Po has been dead a long time and there are no copyright restrictions, but still, it's important... so I thank you for letting me know!

I'll add the quote code to it for you!

Thanks if you read all the posts it should be quite clear

I love Li Po poems. Thank you for posting this.
