There seem to be two possibilities here. One is that you’ll find this mesmerizing, as I do. The other is that it’ll drive you bonkers.

Wang Wei (699-759), “Deer Park”
(translated from Chinese by Gary Snyder)

Empty mountains:
            no one to be seen.
Yet—hear—
            human sounds and echoes.
Returning sunlight
            enters the dark woods;
Again shining
            on the green moss, above.
