mirage

up the slope of fuji
is all rocks and ash
abrasive; eat your shoes
no trees but few grass
but if you're so far away
it is so beautiful to see
its like us; full of beauty
til you start digging
i bet, it isn't pretty

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
responding to the poem below :
idling my Sunday afternoon,
i longingly look at the nearby mountains.
but then at once, I see the splendour
and shimmering slopes of Mt Fuji,
so vividly - from your trip story...passingby
