a garden frog

a garden frog
bewitched by the harvest moon,
a sculpture
resting on a moistened rock
echoing familiar songs
from a forgotten well

Hilda found this poem i gave her before i left Nagoya and she sent it to me to have it it included. it comes with an analysis: the garden frog is a symbol of the 'at-homeness' we ought to be acquainted with in life, the harvest moon symbolises recurring hope - a certainty of the days to come, the word 'sculpture' encapsulates the state of rest and stillness which anchored itself onto the moistened rock - the element that speaks of things which are both firm and refreshing; and the last two lines refer to the reflection of the beauty of the past, and the present, a reminiscence to be kept for the future.
