Lost in ancient forests


Ancient forests
started on October 9th, 2020
revised on November 30th, 2020

Translation of a Chinese poem by Wang Wei:
"I know no good way
to live and I can't
stop getting lost in my
thoughts, my ancient forests."

I think getting lost
in ancient forests
sounds lovely.

I get lost in my<b> head
</font></b>in old familiar battlefields
and imagined future apocalypses.

But an ancient forest
with cool, shaded layers of trees
doesn't sound so bad

I guess it is the lost part
that is the problem.
Maybe the ancient forests
wouldn't be so bad
if the poet knew where he was.

Feet touching the earth
anchoring this self
to this exact spot
the soul a beacon
to the world's gps system.

I am here.

I am not lost.

I am.

Wang Wei was a Chinese poet who lived from 699 to 759 during the Tang dynasty. This translation of the poem is from The Overstory, by Richard Powers, on page 41.

We all get lost from time to time
One has to stop look
Think where you came from
Think where you real want to be
Then go don't look back
For there was nothing there for you to stay
Look forward and walk a straight line
When you stop like what you see
This is where you should be.
If not move along
You are not lost you just don't know where to go.

No funny thing I'm not a reader of book never was. In school language was my worse subject. But I find ready semana blogs on here stirs my imagination. Bring out a different side of me. My father was a secret writer we found pages of poems and stories after he past. (1991)
When I read someone work and I enjoy or connect to it.
I like to write what I see of them.
I try not to offend or judge just compare my life to theirs at the time.
I enjoy your writing every much so.
