monsoon breeze
in the birdsong
through the jasmines
reaching out to me
this endless circle of life

listening
to the sounds of an afternoon
how it sinks
all the paper boats
one by one

after a long 
stormy night 
chamomile hues 
in the boiling water 
in the sky

The Quiet Before

Beneath

hush of thoughts,

silence of an eclipsed mind paces-

Like those medieval paintings

serene, still, lost in time.

A moment

never to be retrieved,

endless-

this spiral, wherever I go.

 

By the brooks,

by the creeks,

unrest lingers in the calm

almost fading the bright of sun-

The sky cloaked in grey,

as if holding the storm

yet to begin.
