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

  1. Beautiful little shy violets; so unassuming.

  2. I think the best part of my little country school was the year end picnic and after eating, Hunting wild flowers. They grew in abundance and were so pretty.
