Rating: 4.8


Inspired by poem of Daniel Brick'—‘'Du Fu Visits Anne Yun''

Your visit to Anne Yun
So special
Your distant daughter
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Du Fu,
You are the warrior
Your valour
keeps guard
Against the evil forces
That corrupts the land
You leave to your descendants
A legacy
A garden of lush green
Where flowers bloom
And pure sun light falls
Your youngest daughter
Whom you have never seen
Finds the magic
Of your words
Poetry written in breeze
Poetry holds her
Your legacy flows like river
A river that never dies
Clouds collect water from river
They go floating far
and far to unknown lands
And poetry writes for them who read
Poetry lives for poetry
And daughter remembers
Du Fu

Mystical and lyrical; I feel that I have absorbed beauty here even as the clouds absorb water. Beauty that I will carry with me and which will not return until it has touched some dry place. Yes, poetry lives for poetry. Well done, a beautiful piece.

POETRY HOLDS HER - This is an amazing line. We know father and daughter cannot embrace because they are miles apart but through a poem he sends her they experience the intimacy of their love. // This poem is the ideal companion to A MUSIC IS MADE: both poems express the spiritual depth and breadth of poetry, both probe the mystery dimension in which we live. Your words echo Shakespeare's lines: WE WILL TAKE UPON OURSELVES THE MYSTERY OF THINGS AS IF WE ARE GOD'S SPIES. // It is impossible to be cynical or indifferent after reading this poem: it informs the mind that human beings are good, and it opens the heart so that love can be given and received. If someone asks you, Why do you write poetry, Bharati? just show them this poem. The person will have the best possible answer! !

I so appreciate the prayerful extension of my original poem in your version. You opened the poem to a larger frame of reference and thereby tested its strength of purpose. You became a co-creator of this enlarged version of the poem and thereby validated its meaning.
