========================================================

Poem 40 by Cold Mountain (Tang Dynasty, China, 8th Century CE)

I climb the road to Cold Mountain,

The road the Cold Mountain that never ends.

The valleys are long and strewn with stones;

The streams broad and banked with thick grass.

Moss is slippery, though no rain has fallen;

Pines sigh, but it isn’t the wind.

Who can break from the snares of the world

And sit with me among the white clouds?

(Translation by Burton Watson, Columbia University Press 1970)

Beautiful piece.. the caligraphy is interesting to see in this medium (I associate it with calligraphy ink) and you did a nice job with it. The composition and colors are both lovely :)
