Briefly a broken mirror
Then-
Submerged branch
Flying leaves and reflections
And over it flows a river.

Park sighting
Drawing themselves closer and closer
Couples, young men, old men
Each with a bench, right after the rain
A picture from my evening walk
Shadow
You’re in the water
While I’m standing on the shore
Why do I feel your voice
Taking in my air.
I’d put you in a frame
But you flicker as the light fades
Falling away, like rain.
An evening
Autumn breeze
And jasmine tea
Bird by bird
An evening leaves.
Koi Doodles
Calm as a Koi pond
The surface unbroken
Why worry,
Such a reflection?
Rivers
Red dragonfly
Drop a flower
Into fire
For another year.
Burning rivers
In one dark line.
Morbid wonders
Warm winds sweep in
Right over a graveyard;
I hear my neighbour sew
I hear the rain end
Again- I go back a page.
Limerick
A man who lives far from town
Writes problems that make people frown
From them, you’d deduce
That a wee baby moose
Was really just Zeus.
Path
Rainstorm
My footprints fade
Into the ones before.
Winding roads
The long road
To enlightenment.
Fire cloud
Forests,like clouds,
Are very slow fireworks;
The densest part of a dream
Is when there’s nothing left to feel.
