Do you ever contemplate
how soon comes the fall?
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”– 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV)

Oh, over-trimmed tree!
Are you going to hug me?
Nearly leafless love.

fluttering between phloxes
a delicate dance

The lane to the lake
leads to possibility.

Almost toothless tree
What tales can you tell to me?

The limber willow

and yet it survives.
Inspired by a conversation between Master Khan and his Disciple Cain, on the TV show Kung Fu.

Me? teaches children
helps and encourages folks.
What six words are you?

azure ocean foams the shore.
people under palms.

Maybe you are right.
Maybe you have it all wrong.
