Lessons

There are who teach only the sweet lessons of peace and safety;

But I teach lessons of war and death to those I love,

That they readily meet invasions, when they come.

--Walt Whitman

 

Morning Rain

A slight rain comes, bathed in dawn light.

I hear it among treetop leaves before mist

Arrives. Soon it sprinkles the soil and,

Windblown, follows clouds away. Deepened

Colors grace thatch homes for a moment.

Flocks and herds of things wild glisten

Faintly. Then the scent of musk opens across

Half a mountain -- and lingers on past noon.

--Tu Fu
