The world

Over my shoulder, /

Earth is a small orb in space. /

Still, it fills my dreams.

Water flower

White Iris pedals /

Folded by the falling Spring /

Rise to catch the rain.

Wings

Wings turned to the sun, /

spreading gentle hymns to the light. /

Spring songs without words.

Some bees feast among /

Eggs, age were hidden /

Nine years past, when both were young. /
