Fennel

 

-------Fennel-------

 

Uprooting stilt grass

among 

the fennel

 

In the garden 

of my ancestral dream

 

I give thanks to all 

who have come

before me

 

By tending the land

I now call home.

 

-------

Away

 

-------Away-------

 

On a cool day

in the mid of summer

 

As the breeze makes

the treetops 

sing

 

I imagine my thoughts

are kin to leaves

 

And away

my worries

blow.

 

-------

Meditation

 

-------Meditation-------

 

Shadows move

 

As the wind 

moves

 

Cottonwoods

 

Along 

the river.

 

-------

In Patience

 

-------In Patience-------

 

In patience 

there is a seed

 

With whom

I breath

 

And watch

become a flower.
