Blessing Night


O, O blessing night...
Are you the cover of arbor?
As a magician makes
the white flowers bloom?
And bring me fragrance from
Hundreds of miles
Into my abode.
Then my all senses
Are engulfed,
I smile in heart
In ease, in eyes...
My white Jasmine,
Or some flower unknown,
The healing beauties,
Will you stay always?
O blessing night,
Let's go, go deep,
In friendship.

Cactus


Cactus,
Seems strange, 
Does it tell the epic of the grave yard?
It is of very little appeal.
People think "what's so special?"
Non-bewitching, fade colored and throne banded.



Green leaves and body are mixed,
As human body becomes mud
Leaving the kin.
Nobody comes very often,
Very few are known.
The only one who comes
Is the water adder, the planter.



Cactus talks about the departed souls.
Sometimes to innocent  flowers,
It's addicted to the meditation of its creator.    
Cactus Man (1881)
