rise blossom
through the sky
come falling petals
—
—
holding on
to being held
desiring surrender
—
—
covered in snow
freezing within
shivering aloneness
—
—
clouds wash
upon the shore
the sky swims
with mountains
—
—
heart anchored bridges
build up the spine
supporting canopies
—
—
branches fall
as a slipping squirrel
becomes distant traffic
—
—
longing heart
the pangs of life
waiting to be born
—
—
mystical sideways
proceeding backward
straightening as it bows
—
—
wild wonders whisper
that the lily dreams
of sprouting
in fallen sadness laid bare
where the peak
of a tumbling mountain
empties into fertile soil
and trusting fate
under winter’s spell
fissures into yearning
—
—
memory fragments
echo as dreams
blossom without light
—
—
passing clouds
cover the moon
in shades of
darkening brilliance
—
—
look out to see
inside yourself
look in to see the stars
—
—
holding hand
lets go to catch
what is ever falling
—
—
bounded puddles
coalesce as dew
forms globes
on clover patches
—
—
radical empathy
armed with compassion
aims through kindness
—
—
we are what it is
for nothingness is not
whatever its thought of as being
—
—
leaves float up
as they glide on the wind
ever destined to fall
—
—
clear spirit melts away
leaving only love
