Poems
Haikus
Unexpected
Surprise! Lone flower
Mind-wandering down the trail
It delights, it goes.
Turkey Tails
Little fungus fans
family winters in an
unfinished cabin
Nothing Special
Ordinary tree
Just standing there, like the others
I see you. Hello!
Daydreams
A happy thought now,
a maudlin goodbye later.
False dreams the mind creates.
Achieving
I climb the mountain.
I do the impossible.
Both made of ego.
Untitled
The breath; always here,
mostly ignored. But sometimes,
it becomes my friend.
My Old Friends
Where did you come from?
Sadness, loneliness, fear, doubt.
I send love to all.
Untitled
A burden shifted,
a weight lifted. So much peace,
from powerful thoughts.
Hope Springs Eternal
As I expected
nothing happened. And yet still,
disappointment here.
Breath
A feather? A stone?
A living creature? A touch?
Yes to all; a breath.
lesser now
outline of a thing
you know you once fully grasped.
humbling, aching, loss
Mortality
Baby bird. Just born,
dead now. Not even any
feathers. Were you loved?
