一

A little bird perched

on a branch, just above my head.

A blink, and it's gone.

二

The drumming rain. A mighty

thunder. In the dark of night,

A symphony.

三

Round light in the night, above.

The howling wolf.

四

You see it, then it's gone.

You think it, then it's none.

A mind trick..

五

Above us all,

a grey blanket spreads.

The storm approaches.

六

Grey sky sheds tears of winter's

magnitude. Peering through

window glass, the water dances.

七

Above all, we fear meeting our

own selves. And the more we run,

the more we fear.

八

Sometimes we feel the urge to

punch the silence in the face.

九

To be or not to be...

That is the question the cat

pondered while gazing at the latch.

十

Daily mud makes us forget

the beauty of the clear water.

THANK YOU.
