Awakening

The moon aglow
with early morning light
as wisps of clouds
and birdsong drift
across the lightening sky


[27 Feb 2008]

back home

early morning moon
over the fence tops
beyond the trees
reflecting the glow
of the rising sun


[25 Feb 2008]

Market bound

We have so many prisoners
We take so many lives

I send you my blessing
And cry tears of anguish
Deep within my heart

But what can I say?
Knowing the ignorance
And the cruelty of humans
That is also my own

Cannot be captured

The beauty
Of the evening
The hazy orange glow
City lights appear
Like a sunset over distant
Rolling curves of hills
And silhouettes of trees
Under the gleaming white pearl
Of the moon suspended
In the deep blue sky
Cannot be captured
By word or photograph

Sunday Morning

Blue sky above
Frost on the ground
The cat over the road
Just sitting in the sunny window
