Understanding

To learn about the person
You must learn about their country
To understand the country
You must understand the person

Some thing inside tells me
This may have been written before
In a castle by candle light there’s a blank sheet
An unspoken law

From anger to fist fights
To tears of pure delight
That morning at five I walk the lonely Osaka streets
To the night at the Kyoto Tower
Learning to treasure
So much
So little
Makers
Destroyers
Repairers
Of every thing we touch

Hi Mick

Japan must be one of the most unspoilt orginal countries left in the word steeped in tradition and history where trust and honour still hold meaning.
If I were you i'd get out asap.

Cheers DSL

Quite profound!

I can tell by reading your verse that
your trip enlightened you is so many ways.
It's wonderful that you traveled to Japan
and felt such a union with the people and
culture.

Say's much about you my friend!

Enjoyed the poem, keep them coming,
andy

~ this is a gentle enlightenment, Mark

I love the sense of being open to all this knowledge

of where someone comes from, their ways, their magic...love it!


I'll be coming back to this one soon, my friend...


*hugs*
