the old barn
amongst new leaves
each teaching the other
A Reunion Of Experience
What the Flowers Taught the Snow
aster’s blooms
each individualized
inspiration to snowflakes
Palisades
sacred spot
where eagles teach
flight
Garden Teachings
an instruction of
peaceful coexistence
tulips befriend the dandelions
April Showers
engulfed in grey
all hope of spring
seemingly stripped away
April’s stern instruction of patience
Exultation
chosen she wears
the light of white
teaching lessons in joy
Sensei
each step
through sun or shadow
requires balance
Seeing Through
trees teach
how letting go
makes room for more
Shadow
The pond shows me how
to see the thing that is least visible.
