watching the heron
a lesson
in patience
Fishing
Ever Changing
the sky teaches
nothing stays
not even all this gray
As It Ends It Continues
autumn teaches
how much there is
in endings
Respect
snow upon snow
winter teaching
us her name
You Again, Wise Friend
the look that speaks
an instruction
to be true
Old Friend
watching you
stillness settles into me
as the universe unfolds
Spirit Guide
always nearby
awaiting notice
guiding the way
Sensei
master teacher
of color
Japanese maple
Teaching Tree
Reshaped by time and weather
my mentor on the mountain
asks me to look deeper and see through.
Impermanence
The sky is my teacher
offering lessons in
fleeting, ephemeral, perfection.
