ANNA KEIKO
Acropolis Of Athens
They have extended to the nothingness
The hidden face s and noses, are sculptures
without breath
Giant columns, open the memory of blood
The suffering pilgrims
far away from wheat fields, olives,
vineyards
step on the gate to the Holy Land
Parthenon, surrounded by eyes
The sky is puzzled and the Mediterranean
Sea full of tears floats human bones
refugees, migrating in dreams
Athena Poseidon begets the lie of power in
cool winter
Does the wind wake up the Acropolis or the
acropolis cover golden light
The harp, sings blue tune for thousands of years
and the humble supplicants mourn for grace

The first draft was written on the island of Celia
nitika
In the era of no machinery, the 18 meters high gate of
the holly mountain, how those huge columns were transported to the top of the
mountain，it reminds me of the workers who built the temple,
they created the "sweat fine art".
A Drop Of Water
A drop of water
Dripping day after day The creek became the
sea A ray of light Shines year after year A small seedling becomes a big tree
An encounter A white sheet alike meets a coloured pen Drawing a spring full of
love.

A Beautiful Sakura
The most ingenious of painters
Painted last night a marvellous painting
Even the poor stop and admire
April’s beauty, nature’s masterpiece
A creature of heaven,
An angel descended on earth.
