Zhangchun Bridge over the Liwu River in the Taroko National Park (Taiwan)

 In a drizzly chilly spring I ponder over the subtle meaning of your silence.
Your vastness is a kind of close intimacy.
The towering mountain walls lie flat at the bottom of my heart like a grain of sand.
Clouds and fog push gently by.
Lushness revolves and pauses in moisture.
The tenderness is like breath,
like the gentle falling of a leaf, the slow flight of a bird, and the blossoming of a tree

From the poem Taroko Gorge
