companion

Contemplating Life

a good companion
is the flower
full of quiet and complexities

down the soft pine needle path
amidst the tall tall trees
the breeze accompanies me

wild beauty
on the fence rail
a compliment to flowering weeds

the mountain
taken
as breakfast companion

mediation
on lavender and grey
fern’s delicate display

golden lanterns
in the fading light
accompany day into night

Midnight’s lamp
guides the sleepless
through the dark

Before the sun fully rises
the neighbor’s light across the way
is my kind companion in morning’s solitude.
