feels too chilly
to be so green.

a temple mural
shows monk and novice
admiring Fall leaves,
as I admire the mural -
surrounded by Spring green.

“Impromptu Lines Written on a Spring Day” [春日偶成] by Cheng Hao [程颢]
Towards noon fleecy clouds waft in the gentle breeze;
I cross the stream amid flowers and willow trees.
What do the worldlings know about my hearty pleasure?
They'd only take me for a truant fond of leisure.
