Mountain Dragon Garden

A Dragon descends,
From the mountains
Of remembered landscapes
Encircling lotus with phoenix fire
Lattice to frame a sky
Soaking in water.

Emergent ancestral forms contour
a xeriscape/riparian sanctuary for art and repose.
A hidden jewel of a garden nestled in San Francisco.
May the land rejoice.
