still
as a white piece
of paper
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.

If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

quiet
as moonlight
on snow

quiet as the moon
whispering ancient orange
light bathing me clean

you may end up where you are heading

happy
as a robin

sun comes up somewhere
and the moon follows along
despite our other plans

you may end up where you are heading

sunrise
needs no fanfare
to command awe
