no snow just winter

cold but not so cold
clear skies, sun and chilly winds
no snow just winter

cats and poets dream

LiPo the cat dreams
he's LiPo the Taoist poet
dreaming he's a cat

wingovers of joy

seagull showing off
for ducks and geese at the pond
wingovers of joy

reflecting on the waters

water bird reflects
near the shore of the pond where
nothing is forever

imperfect people at the park

imperfect people
walk through tangled weeds and brush
nature says okay

the pond knows no politics

the water is close
the grass is under my feet
talk is far away

acceptance & imperfection

asked his religion
he witnessed for acceptance
and imperfection
