morning's light bird song
the not-there breeze barely breathes
a new day stirs, poised

dappling shadows flit
birds wheel in flight's abandon
upturned eyes drink bliss

Life's lacerations

like the cold wind blows
your voice cuts through my vital core
an eternal slash

late winter's thin rain

still bee, wrapped in wet petals

close pollen, so far

Assured survival

Your able presence

you see the winter approach

Assured survival

origami

folded paper sheet
the crane becomes, in pure white
still eternal flight

still trees and cool skies
distant vague birds sleep in flight
the earth breathes soft clouds
