I would gladly give
All I have or ever will
For the simple truths
Of the frog in Basho’s pond
And Williams’ red wheelbarrow
…..
(#17)
On a cattail
A dragonfly preens his wings
Iridescently
There is beauty everywhere
If only my heart could see
…..
(#18)
I am the mountains
I am clouds and sea and trees
I am wild flowers
I am all thing of the earth
And sky; stardust enfolds me
Silent Pariah 
Ohhh #17…. I especially loved that one. Read it aloud to my hubby and he enjoyed it too. 😃💫
