day 1
wind awakens
self discovers a new day
each moment born
.
old Arab structure
they flee, others seek shelter
bronze plaque reminder
.
winnie the pooh
falling down the tree trunk
branch to branch kerplunk
.
day 2
opened heart
when was your first sight of love?
all that past led here
.
release that guilt
each mistake's experience
creating your soul
.
nothing to forgive
it all led to this
understanding
.
mid-morning walks
sunlight on my shoulders
smell of fresh fields
.
simple principles
when challenged, relax
accept the meeting
.
welcome back strangers
storks gather in wheat fields
wise to me, they fly
.
grey stark orchard
dormant pomegranate trees
scattered shriveled peels
.
Day 3
allow time
allow for all cells' digestion
listen with fresh ears
