from
each
observation
to each new discovery
we eagerly await the next
aha
the calm
of the water,
the stillness of the day,
bringing uncluttered acceptance
of mind
darkness
and in time light
when hope outshines despair
with the dawning of a new day—
patience
goodbye
does not seem right
for death is not an end
go now in peace until we meet
again
Butterfly
Cinquain
the road
makes its decline
twisting, turning, falling
down the mountain to the valley
below
when suddenly the road straightens
and there is gratitude
because you have
arrived
