oaks' power

two oaks standing, reach

for the sky. reaching low, their

roots tap the earth and

 wisely ground the animals

who live to roam and protect

aging (viewed in the light)

like cherry blossoms

delicate, splendid, short-lived

giving way to fruit

nourishing richness, the seed

within, promises new life

symmetry and synchronicity

symmetry shows reflection

synchronicity

shows connection; both hold the

mystery and are held in

 our collective history

fear or trust?

feeling swept away

and carried by the current

only for a day

why resist and keep control?

honor trust, there is no fail

if effort prevails

and keeps life tied and trussed

with no surprises,

still there is no guarantee

the result would be more just

so when the mighty river swells,

I'll endeavor to let go,

enjoy the ride, and trust.

peace within

coming home

to that space inside

filled with love and never fear

always someone there to hear

hay siempre personna que oir

listening silently

to all that is dear

rainbow

prisms suspended

the sun's pure light divided

revealing depth

rain

what is the rain saying to me?

it whispers so softly

and moistens the dry

softly, like cotton

la lluvia

shapes

the earth, and her animals;

her plants and her rocks

raindrops and torrents

through treetops and forests

obstacles

for rain, do not exist

courageously, it does persist

until one day, the sun will shine

and rain will go until

it's time
