Bamboo Dreams



Let me move into a bamboo forest.
Make my house of bamboo,
doors and windows open to the sky.
Let there be water trickling nearby,
and bird-song.
May it be always warm,
and may soft summer breezes
tip the tops of the trees
to and fro,
so all thought falls away
and there is only 
a deep green
silence.

posted belatedly for Real Toad's Transforming Fridays with Hannah: the Bamboo Forest. Was traveling Friday and am still exhausted. But imagining myself in other landscapes is right up my alley tonight!

    So heavenly, Sherry.

    "water trickling nearby,
    and bird-song."

    You gather this place so delicately. Thank you for writing.

    This is lovely, Sherry. I like how you set this up as a deep- seated need for the peace and serenity only nature can offer.

    A dream house full of tranquil positive energy. I love the fact that your definition of an ideal house is one that's open to nature. Great poem.

    I'd love to live in a house like you describe. The deep green silence sounds so soothing. Hope you enjoy some of that if only in your imagination.
