Yugen


It's  blue and orange 

and  some white and black,

tarnished.


Where the moon can take you

is where the tarnished blue and orange can. 

The leaf-less tree branches 

and the texture of the moon.


Yesteryear,

mingled with joy and sadness 

where you weave lost dreams 

with new ones. 

An unknown pain, the longing 

for some places and 

an urge to create?


Hiraeth?   Fernweh?  Toska?


Moon.


Written first as an accompaniment for today's sketchbook work; later changed some lines for dVerse Poets Pub, Poetics: Adagio for Strings.

Here Kim says to express your thoughts after listening to the music.

Wiener Philharmoniker conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.

  1. Great use of colour and repetition, Sreeja, and I love the mixture of joy, sadness, lost and new dreams.
