Saplings growing their different ways.
And,
the trees are crying as they sway.
Of what they have seen…
they will not say.
Sapling
In…Mother’s Nature, she keeps me
In Mother’s Nature…
She keeps me gentle
She keeps me sapient
She keeps me legitimate
She keeps me with timeless tests
She keeps me with flesh
She keeps me with dignity
She keeps me shady
She keeps me with chemistry
She keeps me with fragile, breakable reverie
She keeps me
She keeps me
…a most indulgent mother, has placed her best gifts out in the open, like air, water and the earth itself; vain and unprofitable things she has hidden away in remote places.

Country Affirmations
With moments such like a desolate snowflake, hanging from the sky.
I walk my daily assertions and provoke, why?
The cold and the lucidity encapulates me.
I cannot always get there from here.
Yet, I am still open wide and apathetically, naturally, translucent to what nature offers me.
Traveling left of false roads…lifting a heavy foot, I am not too old.
Too old to bear the fruit of red berry, solo on downtrodden branch.
Further, into unmarked mystery, for bleak seconds, I find my second chance.
Country affirmations leave a stone heart vivid with darkened greens and snow-blind white.
Country proclamations steal my sideways glance.
Not all that is meant to be…
Not all is within sight.

If Only
Happiness– which is total and complete satisfaction with yourself. This means you realize that nothing and nobody else can make you happy. Happiness is something you get from yourself. If you’re completely satisfied with yourself, nobody can take it away from you. ##the RZA

Beauty is in the Technique
Too lazy to be ambitious, I let the world take care of itself. Ten days’ worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace. Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment? Listening to the night rain on my roof, I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out! -Ryokan
