Among the night winds the hidden leaves stir: An original Zen poem by yours truly

Great roiling clouds obscure a false sliver of the moon,

As the waters of the ocean churn.

Among the night winds the hidden leaves stir.

I've settled my great black dragon to a restful sleep,

Far, far below at the very bottom of the depths.

Not a single one among them can disturb him.

I think I'll rest here for a bit, and regard the trappings of the world,

If only for a small amount of time; it is so, it is so.


Wandering Ronin 77 commentary: I've hidden a few concepts within this Zen poem to see if several people here in the community can decipher and discern some of the hidden meanings. This should be a nice little logical Zen exercise for anyone that is interested in playing along. Let's debate and discuss things about it in the comments.
