silent fields breathe different after the return of swallows
not feathered god but a caged beast lures us close with a morning melody
stonewall a quiet sapling has been crowned the first bloom of hope
frail shells of flesh avoiding the summer sun like plague
the path home grows softer with each returning step
summer the patient forest teaches clouds to stay
where the old ones have paused moss colonizes
a pocket full of sesame seeds is a prayer in disguise
the zen garden secretly grows a plant for unseen guests
