emergence

the past
arises
from the ice

Leaves Leaving

the essence
of trees
emerging

day emerged
leisurely
from its foggy sleep

mandala of hearts
on the mill stone
loving what is

through the reeds
a road emerged
that seemed to lead to spring

in the bedlam of branches
some center emerges
the circle where beginnings and endings meet

beauty is everywhere
calling out to me
if I recognize my name

like the teeth of a zipper
brown and ground emerge
opening to spring

undiluted by colors
complexities of grey
emerge and educate
