Hsieh Ling-yun (385-433)

Dwelling in the Mountains
 
 
6
 
Here where I live,
lakes on the left, rivers on the right,
you leave islands, follow shores back
 
to mountains out front, ridges behind.
Looming east and toppling aside west,
 
they harbor ebb and flow of breath,
arch across and snake beyond, devious
 
churning and roiling into distances,
clifftop ridgelines hewn flat and true.
