Mt. Fuji

The way
the universe goes
is
a harvest road
for
millions
a treasury
for
the good,
a shield-wall
against
evil
fancy
talk
sells
well
in the market
showing off
wins
one
high
rank
but
at the coronation
let
others
ride in on
matched
horses
better
to walk
along
the way
without
bustling
or prancing
why
do

you
think
the old folks
valued
the way?
on the way,
whoever
searches
finds,
whoever
flees,
escapes
on the way
the old folks
found
millions
of miracles--

an inexhaustible
treasury
