Happy Birthday Edwin....

Granite mountain crevasses
where life blooms
a bonsai patiently holds
pause of elegance
upon your cliff walls
looking out into the open
embracing the golden rays
as they shower over the horizon
catching sparrows in the dawn
through iridescent mist
in emerald forests below
where fertile soil nourishes
dreams
inscribed in ink
on delicate rice paper walls
with golden inlaid
crimson cherry blossoms
a manifestation
of our growing scenery
