...May hills lean toward you,

Hills and windswept mountains, 

and trees be happy

That have seen you pass-...

a fine way to celebrate a large number birthday!

 

FALL / HARVEST

One leaf left on a branch

and not a sound of sadness

or despair. One leaf left

on a branch and no unhappiness..

One leaf left all by itself

in the air ad it does not speak

of loneliness or death.

One leaf and it spends itself

in swaying mildly in the breeze.......

Empty handed I entered the world

Barefoot I leave it.

My coming, my going-

Two simple things happenings

That got entangled.

Giant desert 4 o'clocks greeting the day

 

There can be no very black melancholy to him who lives in the midst of nature…
