Life | Nature | Philosophy as my muse, I ponder and reflect, and words come out.
Impermanence & Interconnectedness
Impermanence captured.
Rhythm of Shadow
As time goes by.
Perspectives of near and far
And everything in between.

Impermanence & Interconnectedness
Impermanence captured
Rhythm of Shadow
As time goes by
Perspectives of near and far
And everything in between
Contrast of lush green
And bone dry ground
Some rock surfaces are
Etched
And some are
Smoothened
Over time
All
Integrated
All Interconnected
Poem written on Dec 1, 2017
Grab Life By the Horns
Comes forth the greatest gift
Freedom is tasted
Impermanence called life
So...hold onto
The greatest ride

Sometimes it takes
Aloneness to reflect
On the past—
Lessons, memories, pains, gains
To think and feel
To live and transform
Discard the spent
Embrace the growth
From darkness of abyss
You find
Blessings in disguise
Can’t find it? Look harder
In stillness of the mind
Eased by spontaneous
And natural movement
Of the body
Bottomless pit of
Forgiveness
And love
Is discovered
Untethering
Non-attachment
Releasing
Letting it all go
Comes forth the greatest gift
Freedom is tasted
Impermanence called life
So...hold onto
The greatest ride
Grab it by the horns
Surprise, Surprise, Such is Life
The ticking clock is
About to strike
Midnight of the final day
Of yet another year
Out in the cold
Covered in white
Icy crystals
Fractal art of nature
The ticking clock is
About to strike
Midnight of the final day
Of yet another year
Out in the cold
Covered in white
Icy crystals
Fractal art of nature
Surrounded by
Old beings that
Have roots deep into hell of earth
And arms reaching into heaven of sky
Oh
The Silence of Snow
Intermittent with sound of skis sliding
On the white blanket of fractal crystals
A cabin at a distance
Inside, a warm fire glowing red
Thick white snow covering the roof
Smoke beckoning from the chimney
Here lies in wait the first surprise
The red lace embellishing
The warm glowing body
Under the thick white coat
Surprise, just awaiting
For the special one
To discover
And to be embraced
And comes the next surprise
Upon arriving at the cabin
There was no fire, no red, no warmth
But charred cold coals and dusty white ashes
Life is fleeting
Just when you begin to live and grasp life
It has already slipped
Through the trembling fingers
