April Snow
A symbol of nature’s desire to endure
Crabapple in full flowery bloom
covered with fresh blanket of snow
Branches drooping to the ground
straining, bending, touching
Will this white wigged weeping willow wannabe
snap, or will it endure?
Like the willow tree it's imitating,
will it adjust and mimic the willow tree’s flexibility?
Adapting to its environment and enduring
As irresponsible as we tend to be
in this imperfect world
what diet of today’s indigestion
yielding confusion
is needed for a more
temperate and enduring constitution?
Grant us grace and ingenuity
Gift us insights in sustainability
Help us clean
our lands and oceans
Help us correct
our climate changing notions
Countering environmental degradation
fosters a fertile foundation
for social succorance
and human harmonization
Please help us endure like this
white wigged weeping willow wannabe

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.
