Pathways to insight- Stretching off into the far. Paper, light and air, Stone and earth, world turning round. All laid out in memory.

Rain’s Promise
Dry river running- Roots stretch for unseen water. Thunder in distance.

Night Trips
Darkness in the room- Soft glow from under the door. Restless half dreams press. Powerless…forlorn- Lost in the recent past. Wandering confined. The air warms brighter. Stillness broken by nature- The day begins old.
On a Spring Morning
Windblown, flags flapping- Leaves circle from root to crown. Good humor rings loud.
Winter into Spring
Spring in the distance- Hot sake against the chill. Kimono open.

Final Steps
Soda can glistens- Capturing dust blown on wind. Sweat soaked hat alone.

Garden Stroll
Blessed guardian— Standing still and vigilant. Friend of winter black. Garden of flowers, Black and white among rainbows. Leaves float in water. White hunter on wing— Silent under the moonlight. Bare trees marching on.

Winter Sleep
Winter home sealed Warm underneath root and rock. Porridge steaming hot.
