snow may come again
still the garden will emerge
soak up the sun when you can
The Patience Of A Metal Frog
Seated Meeting
in the stillness
and the silence
I meet meaning
Adorned
bestowed
upon Buddha
a headdress of iris
Frog On The Toadstool
I’ll do
what I want
is his only thought
Madonna
mother
in granite
nature her child
Namaste
buddha
in the morning sun
all is one
Offerings
the peony
blooms
for Buddha
Present
iris bow
sun shines
season’s first offering
Buddha and the Dutchmen
community gathers
in the shadow
of faith
Loyalty
guardian at the gate
the iron lab
waits
Taking Suggestions
at the Buddha’s suggestion
the wind and tree united
to place a reminder of faith
