When I hear
the tuneful cries
of copper pheasants
they sound just like
my father and mother.
When deer from higher up
come tamely down to me
I realize how far I am
from the world.
Awakening at night and
poking embers from the ashes
this old man finds his company.
The mountains do not daunt me,
so I enjoy the hooting of the owl.
Each passing season
brings its own enchantment.
Of course, a more perceptive man
would find much more
to charm.
When I moved here
I did not mean to stay this long,
but five years have now passed.
This rough shelter
has become my home.
