After a long day, riding home on the subway looking forward to a quiet, relaxing evening, I noticed a new posting of a magical, dreamlike poem by Jeffrey Yang (Amer. b'74.) His somnolent untitled poem help set the tone for a peaceful evening. The poem floated in a beautiful painting by artists Holly Sears that has elephants floating in air amongst sea horses & long tailed fish. The otherworldly combined poem/painting was a lovely way to ease into the nighttime landscape.
West of rest is sleep
east, dream
where waters meet
north, emptiness,
south, wakefulness,
and out, rising up
to the stars, peace
And to all a good night.
