Haiku

Impact

Tiny leaf falls on
The pond, softly, unnoticed
Until the ripples.

Blindness

The trees cower in
Fear of the thunder and so
Miss the lightning bolt.

Fate

Lone dandelion
Sways in a grass field, waiting for
New birth--or plucking.

Wisdom

Eagle lands on branch,
Surveys his territory--
But height blurs detail.

Courage

Braving the thunder,
The blossom boldly opens,
Exposing its heart.

Extrapolation

Drops fall from the sky
And make tiny pond ripples
That joined become large.

Leadership

Courageous green shoot
Pushes aside the soil,
First to face the new day.

Oblivion

Ferocious rain pounds
On weak flower petals, blind
To devastation.

Little Moment

Rain cascades down leaf
Veins in small rivers of pure
Transparency-joy.

Birth

Cloud burst--shimmering
Spectacle of blue stardust;
Creation begins.
