Not too dark
Not too bright
Here there is
Just enough light
When the sky
Is over pouring
Here it’s just
Slightly soaking
If the wind
Is whooshing outside
Here the breeze
Is very mild
Gentle rustlings
Above and below
And the rays of the sun
Perform a show
Calm thoughts
Gather here
Where birdsongs
Are always near
Time stops
Worries fade
I love it here
Under the shade
(of)
My tree.
A dew!
A dew!
I noticed a dew
forming on a leaf
this morning.
I looked from the bottom,
it’s color was blue.
I looked from the top,
it’s color was green.
Then against the sun I saw
inside it held a rainbow.
I breathed too close
and it slid.
The leaf bent just a little
to let it glide.
For a second it held on
to the tip of the leaf
before…
Adieu!
Adieu!
It splashed to the ground.
There’s a different sort of feeling
you get when riding a bike
an unreproducible feeling
that seems to like
to take hold of your soul
in order to free it
from being stuck on the soil
full of garbage and dirt
No, those two wheels of gold
can fly far away
where the clouds grow old
and it’s always day
the wind feels chilly
and a little bit sweet
and you can be silly
and pedal at a leisurely beat.

I Am Near
Our distance
though as immeasurable
as the vastness
of the sea
Is really closer than
two specks of sand
side by side
on the beach
For we are connected
by Love
A force greater than
the raging tide
more powerful
than time
and can leap over
thousands of miles
with but a
single beat
of
the
heart.
