Poetry Moments--By Changming Yuan--United States

Broken Spirits

fluttering like tiny
black feathers, they are shredded
shadows swept away
silently from the bright spot
on the tallest human stage
________________

Seascape  

So heavy is the night
The horizon sags deep, deeper
Into the heart of
The ocean, where a new sun’s
Pushing the whole world above dawn

[Previously published in Epigraph Magazine]
________________

the chinese painter and the viewer

between your brush tip
and mountain top, you seek e-
ternity in the blank
while i am lost among thick
patches of ink blacker than night

[Previously published in Chinese in Singaporean Literature; first published in English in the Adirondack Review]
