The Chinese Peaks - Robert Bly

[Larry Robinson]


The Chinese Peaks
   For Donald Hall
 
I love the mountain peak
but I know also its rolling
foothills
half-invisible
in mist and fog.
 
The Seafarer gets up
long before dawn to read.
His soul
is a whale feeding
on the Holy Word.
 
The soul who loves the peak
also inhales the deep
breath rising
from the mountain
buried in mist.
 
	- Robert Bly
