Ao Sen Park (Ii) Comments

Enjoying the ways of nature. Nice work.

This is a remarkable poem! You are alone in the park, but in a very real sense you are NOT alone at all The trees and foliage have an interactive presence, the birds and you are friends - they're trying to teach you their language. And then you remember you can give your friend Alvin a gift from the day - an account of the birds. You were not alone: nature was full of presences, your mind populated with living things.

Verily, the sight of birds is a great pleasure to see

Wow! Such a beautiful piece! Wish I were there; Cigeng, to me this is one of your best, if not the best poem. When I read it, I feel the peace, and the beauty of nature, so much zen! Thank you for sharing. I'm gonna put it in my list of favorite poems for repeated readings...
