an ode to karma ~
these lessons must be learned,
and taught hard.
...
with their backs against a tree, they leaned in looking
up-wards - paused
in lieu of each others silence, out of respect for
what each other now sought.
...
Fluttering wings with so far to look ahead
All smiles of anticipation
In wonderment of one moment to the next
...
at the shores cliff-side, she stood waiting - her tears met the ocean, the same as always
at the way's side, he hesitated, then fallowed the current home -
this story has been written.
...
For the first time, I noticed, a playful Willow shade pass before me
Spilling over the smooth mossy edge
Another river pool fills with cool bubbling waters
As falling Alder leaves spinning in the wind
Wave and weave as a gesture of ease
...
Scattered flowers resembling scattered gems
Shine amongst the grass
Shimmering with the wind
Highlighting to my eyes
Or imagined as notes played
to hear
...
Through such dark thoughts
I wonder on through the night
Arms stretched out forwardly towards what sickness I see in the World before me
My joy has no consequence besides its ending
...
Once again there in the forest
Tree tops brush against each other
Swaying
Dropping pine-cones and frayed branch tips
...
Across the field as far as I can see
There is nothing
Except all I can imagine
...
