I watched a solitary flower today
Exuberant petals stretching forth
Filled with new found life
Anxiously awaiting others
...
Withering away
Tree dying more each season
Becoming lifeless
Impending death I await
...
Coiled over a branch
In a tree in front of me
Awaiting black snake
Startled by it's appearance,
...
Peaceful day at sea
So serene, danger unable to foresee
Catching some fish
Planning my supper dish
...
