your feet hold freedom

droplets, the bubbles in air

perfection in life

there are just some trails

revealing ancient forest

boardwalk to the sky

let yourself be here

stretch out from golden circles

they show us the sky

fractions of flowers

that crest of water — a wave

such different days

selflessness is just

with their agates and whirlpools

on the forest floor

plan those garden beds

your little arms, unaware

you — vast and beyond

cottonwoods have arms

mandalas of all our time

listening to birds

you are a symbol

at the leaves that you have lost

and sing of the spring

breadcrumbs of sunbeams

flit, fly, jump, play — pierce the gray

never in silence

there are days in which

in your autumn glow, right now

on the forest floor

I see reflection

echoes with branches in streams

puddle of raindrops

so precious is now

you are like honey and light

but, sometimes I break

those moments of pause

ripples from raindrops expand

centuries of flow

the sea leaves presents

smoothing bumps, magnifying

beauty does abound

you have the widest

better plotted in polar

bring us forth those pearls

your path can be framed

change my radius of thought

just beaming with joy

ribbons of fungus

find the space within your mind

announce the sunset

I saw you today

I see you and your colors

it can feel hopeless

this year you have bloomed

but drops — collecting, dripping

with your fluff and stance

plan those garden beds

merging with the trees and leaves

transforming in growth
