returning

"Yes, there is a Nirvanah; it is leading

your sheep to green pasture,

and putting your child to sleep,

and in writing the last line of your poem."

--Kahlil gibran

I love the wabi sabi of the garden

..therein lies my lust

to exist to the end and return

while I am yet here

may my eyes always be open

to see

the ordinary

wonder of woodland violets

and yes, that is an axehead

alongside them

returning

joy
