Greensnake, White Snake Poem by Daniel Brick
Greensnake, White Snake
(Drawn from ancient Chinese myth)
The Green Snake coils itself
around itself. It is in total
command of the hills that stretch
from here all the way to the sea.
Who really believes sadness
can be assuaged by time passing?
Look for a better explanation.
Look at me, I'm old enough to know
what is real. I have watched scene
after scene of beauty, each one
holding my gaze as the next crowds in.
Shining things make every space
a garden place; shining things
flash and fascinate time upon time.
My heart skips a beat. I am breathless.
Nature is the beautiful background
of our lives. Oh, pull it into the foreground!
The White Snake of the West
sleeps, coiled deeply upon its dreams.
It is in total control of valley upon valley.
Nature is the beautiful background of our lives. Oh, pull it into the foreground! This is cool, Daniel! Amen and amen to the imperative here. -Glen
Welcome back after a long gap, I am active since August 2020 like you I took pause for a year and a half. Now back.
Great myth nicely written, the metaphor used " Snake" to depict it was fantastic and use of imageries are fantastic, your poems are treat and thought for the mind and the soul. Brilliant 10++++++
