Japanese gardens....

...have a very formal look,
but they can be hap-hazard and still go by the book,
it's all about appearance, and how they make you feel,
and everything is balanced, like a sharp edge of steel.

The sand or small stones are rake, part of the pattern too,
the grass and trees are trimmed just so, just to please you;
color and light in tandem, work hard to overcome....
...the tired emotions, and make you feel welcome.




Reflecting pools are common in large spaces, living art.

More beauty is added by the season.

Sand is 'arranged' to soothe the soul.  Does it work?
