Natural Cycles
The last light of day
Fades as the hen finds her roost
Natural cycles
With or Without
The world spins and spins
And will continue to spin
With or without us
Melting
Drizzle from the sky
Covering the river beds
The snow is melting (I melt with the snow)
Cooperation
The sun warms my face
While the wind cools my body
Cooperation
Flow
Life flows with this stream
As the snow makes its return
After a short nap
It Was Never Yours
Let go of everything
Truly, let it go
It was never yours
Contentment
Sounds of contentment
While you lie on the table
My hands on your back
No Separation
Another snowfall
But did the first ever stop?
No separation
A Battle
A numbness creeps in
Setting up the next few days
For a clear battle
Sweetness
A cup of ice cream
Sweetness capping off the day
An inch of new snow (New snow on the way)
A Good Sleep
A draining bathtub
And a towel on its hook
A good sleep comes next
Descent
The cold air descends
Into the valley at night
And waits for the sun
No Resistance
Clean burning and free
Doing just what is needed
With no resistance
Thoughts
Thoughts flow in my mind
Like a mail freight rushing past
Try not to jump on
Wilderness
Wind in the tree tops
A child builds a fairy house
Both pure wilderness
Atchafalaya
The water gurgles
As it drains from the bathtub
Atchafalaya
Journey
Snow rests on the ground
While on its journey back home
And the stream beds wait (The sky is patient)
One Drop
A raging river
Starts with one drop of water
That is found in all
Jumping Beans
My own anxious mind
Thoughts moving like jumping beans
And yet the sun shines
Waterfalls
Waterfalls happen
With the twisting of a wrist
The bathtub fills up
