Reflections
I walk
softly
on loose stones
as if on a perch
looking down
remembering
pain and
consequence.
In a moment of sadness
As you sit upon the bench
with a puddle at your feet
Pondering whom will clear
the weeds from the lawn
Search not continuously
throughout the archives of life's journey
Weep not before the door of winter
for it is both an end and a beginning
Neither totally sad or happy
Rather just different
relative to the seasons before.
The magnolia
Grow a tree in your heart
and nurture flowers in the mind
Every moment is precious
like a heartbeat in a continuous song
Cultivate the brain with vitality
bearing visions of what to be
Like pruning the magnolia branches
to produce magnificent blossoms in Spring
Balance and harmony offer fruits of beauty
though power beyond in the universe
The dream comes from the Earth
Like glimmering goldfishes in a bowl on the table
The gardener has no certainty of the environment
It's nurturing with patience and hope
The tree must weather storms and calmness
But, may survive season to season.
Grow a tree in your heart
and nurture flowers in the mind.
Friendship
It is better to walk
with friends in the forest
than to wander, forever,
alone in the wilderness.
Genes
The tortoise
moves along
slowly
bearing its
heavy
inheritance
from
long ago.
