A Mountain Poem by wabi sabi
A Mountain
some people look happy
others seem to look busy
and the next time they all seem to start looking up and down
as if to look for soemthing new
I am little bit different one from the center and the average
staying far away from them
doing something important to myself
it is like climbing up the same mountain
as one up they all do
just taking the different course no one could find out
so I don't stop standing up on my way
that never stops attracting me
Here what thought your poem brought to me: A while ago I came back to Japan after a vacation overseas. Seated on a bench in the airport waiting for the next flight. I saw a foreigner walking between a sea of Japanese. And then the difference struck me: All the Japanese were moving the same while the foreigner was moving different. Maybe that is the difference you are writing about here. You all go in the same direction doing the same thing yet you move absolute free uncontrolled by numerous ties of Japanese style (lots of written and unwritten rules) ...Total freedom of thinking with a free choice for the new path beside the one imposed by the motions of the crowd. Nice write, I hope I have not missed your point..
That makes you a strong person like a mountain yourself! ! you know what is perfect for you..then you own your life well! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! _Soul

No, Elena! You have not missed my point. I would like to cheer younger generation in Japan by telling something like this!
