Morning Walks and December Sorrows

MORNING WALKS AND DECEMBER SORROWS
(To Buddy)

Today I get up early.
   The fog is heavy.

With lonely steps
   I tread the way we used to walk
      ...together.

The cranes
   with their slender legs are there
      ...still.

And the rabbits too!

The eagle on the tree
   unmoving in its watch
        let me pass without a care.

The serene Silver Lake
   calm and covered by haze
       I can hardly see.

But i know it is there
   Like love lost
      ...unexpectedly.

It doesn't go away.
   It stays. It goes on
       ...and on...and on

And lingers...
   With my sighs of sorrows
       In this cold December morn.
