Eve...El/2010
Maroon Maple
Spring has quickened almost everything now
The moist morning air richly scented with new life --
Spring's vitality reflects the fire behind my eyes
As I stop to prune and fuss over the Japanese maple.
Always last to waken, it stands still even now
Surrounded by the fresh green of things
A trunk without decoration, branches leafless
No hint its lacy maroon unfolding.
I am in this state also
Suspended between two knowings
Blissfully alone in the void
Sublime in the space between
Tranquil in a sea of potential
The maple and I await our own renewal
And this year we share a sense of timing.

Hi how are you?
ReplyDeleteI was looking through your blog, and I found it interesting, and inspiring to me, so I thought, why not leave you a comment.
I have a blog also obviously, and would like to invite you to become my blog friend.
Maybe you can follow, and I can also follow you, if that is okay.
Well, I hope to hear from you soon... :)
