a stick goes over the falls at sunset

Where are you now
With your pipe
And your delightful stoicism
Thanks to you I saw the sunset
Both in Jamaica
And also closer to home
Where are you now

a white lotus—
the monk decides
to cut it!

That found
In that place
Of two
Quite separate
Visitations
One of mud
One of flower
Both fed by the water

After weeks of watching a roof leak
I fixed it tonight
by moving a single board
Gary Snyder

My nature, so it seems
Is to sit with my feet in the streams
Where I take my time, to decide
What to say next, or what to do next
Not yet in harmony with myself
I concentrate on the cold water
To make me feel something, anything
Then
As I pull my socks onto my wet white feet
I am thankful
And so the day began
And so the day moved on, at one with itself

ancient pond—
frog jumps in
sound of the water
Basho Matsuo
————————————————
Water has been my life source
Ponds have been my distractions
I have travelled widely on the back of water
Water gave me my trade, which I relied upon
Now water is here to give me calm
I listen to it flowing and cascading
I go to those places where water gifts beauty
Yet I am no wild swimmer

when the spade turns
the soil in our garden—
how different…
Ion Codrescu
————————————————
How different indeed
To be able
To plant sixty trees
Over one, wet
Easter weekend
And now to watch
As five Silver Birch
Head skywards
