In my Lady’s Kanji Tree

In my Lady’s Kanji Tree

What solemn secrets do you nourish
in pre-sun dark before rise of day
when silly sallies sway?

Your dance abounds in sun surround
the heed of glowing often
the hard to soften.

As shepherd you do shimmer
reflecting inner glimmer
only glad to gong.

Root to branch, earth to air,
such sap as real rises
realizes fair.

She softly whispers shyly
all good deeds should wisely
let nature nurture need.

Good word, good deed,
good thought, good heed,
each in each agreed.
