the shell I take
like shell it takes
ebb tide
Vincent Tripi
————————————————
Attuned to our environment
We climbed into the small rowing boat
The subtle, knowing, energy of the water
With its compassion and wisdom
Asked that we share our day
We were available
There for the flower to open
Conditions ripe in our lives
A new circumstance
Soon to become inauspicious
By another coincidence
I write this on this day
It is exactly, give or take
Exactly as the ebb tide
Gives and takes
haiku mind
108 poems to
cultivate awareness
& open your heart
