rebirth

migrating birds over the lake; a window into the earth.

the park, its lawn scarred, is left; alone and hurt.

everything is looking for a harbor, a resting place; a rebirth.

autumn expectations

the wind is exhausted,
leaves the leaves be;

bearing a fragrance of
wild colours to come.

strong, unperturbed
and placid, lies the sea.

vulnerability

to live and to love is to be vulnerable,
exposing our hearts to flame and to frost.

grief is the most sincere way to honor,
our happiness once it is lost.

calmly be

calmly be, just be
bow to pain and joy both,
with equanimity
