Morning Paradox

dawn’s delicacy
belies
the bitter cold

Winter’s Enigma

inside the flurry
resides
a particular tranquility

The Other Cabbage Rose

paradox of the purple bloom
petals holding both
snow and sun

Sound Seen

the thrum
of wings hovering
stillness in motion

Dichotomy

without contradiction
arrived the second bloom
interpretation upheld by the past

Birch Brush

summer drawn
with wind and water
moving while still

Shifting

neither even or fair
the lay of the land
embraces inconsistency

Paradox

uncertainty embraced
calm ensues
amidst chaos

A Thought That Knew, A Look That Saw

like the thought
that changes perception and reality
a ray of light
illuminates the leaf’s simple complexities

Progress

even when still
time moves the wheel

Between

It is in the space
where there is nothing
that everything resides.
