Here is my latest poem. It was inspired by the Japanese train that crosses the Seto Inland Sea and connects the islands of Honshu and Shikoku. I hope you enjoy it.
Earth and Sky
Flying over distant and calm blue sea,
Now in position between earth and sky,
With heightened sensations of being free
Creating immeasurable views from high.
Connecting one island to another,
Moving through elements of time and space,
One island moves farther, one moves nearer,
Historical scenes time cannot erase.
Sounds of welcoming wind leave their echo,
Winter sky expands to every corner.
Rays of sun descend on water below,
Spectacular art of sun with water.
Below is sea and earth, above is sky
And winter sun warms cold ocean water.
Under silent clouds trains appear to fly,
Invisible air over and under.
Suspended in air between two islands,
Advancing on tracks that carry many,
Bodies of land in sea become diamonds,
Part of passengers' amazing journey.
