always nearby
awaiting notice
guiding the way
Allowance
I am seen
by the knowing yellow eye
and allowed audience
Sensei
each step
through sun or shadow
requires balance
Spirit Guide
like a japanese scroll
an image unfolds
the heron emerges
from mist and weeds
Knowing
This is the deer who knows my soul
and seeks me out to remind me
of the gentleness of wildlife.
