On Suzannie and HKU

Suzannie sketches beautifully and she is beautiful. She sits by HKU and sketches the front portico. Everyone knowing the portico can understand what she has sketched when they look at it as a whole, they cannot when they see just the lines being drawn; anyone not knowing can appreciate the beauty of a place unknown. It is astounding in its simplicity and elegance.

Just a few seemingly careless scratches
The lead marks spreading here and there
The white paper smudged with ugly lines.
Before long, no one notices the plight of white
The ugly lines become a vibrating form,
The elegance of the smudges,
The beauty ensemble!

The few birds chirping
The trees casting their afternoon shadow
The lily pool quiet with reflections
The students strolling by
Calm and peace fills the soul
Crystal clear thoughts run like a stream and
The beauty ensemble!
