Disturbance
watching while you sleep
your gentle breath, warm and sweet
so easily stilled
–
echoes of
silence spread
throughout the night

Mirage
a mirror’s surface
where the water meets the shore
ripples in the wind
–
cat tails
growing in and
out of the water
Calm
in the forest pond
floating water lilies tint
the fishes below
–
ripple-
a golden koi
breaks the surface
Cover
an unseen rabbit
eyes the fox suspiciously
from beneath the hedge
–
hidden-
the rabbit spies
a hungry fox
Introspection
often I frequent
my mind’s darker recesses
to search for solace
Or
in the dark corners
of my mind
seeking peace-
Paint
the old man’s brushes
with fluid movements coax life
out of the canvas
