Togetsukyō Bridge (渡月橋, Moon Crossing Bridge)
Arashiyama Hanatouro (嵐山花灯路)
Arashiyama, Kansai
Honshu, Japan
Winter, December 2013
A calm serene plane
reflects lights, projecting colors.
Gentle golds, blues, on a sheet of black,
daring someone to notice them.
A scene of beauty, majesty, wonder
unrivaled by any other.
A pattern of rusted metal,
unattractive in the minds eye,
yet stunning to the beholder.
A peace of mind settles over
the eager visitor, impressed
by the display.
A bridge between worlds,
so worldly and yet,
not of this world at all.
