Springs.....Circles



sky opens rain falls
water streams fresh leaves afloat
tiny twigs boulders trap all
wind blown circles form
cherry blossoms ebb and flow
down stream wind makes puddles deep.

just exceptional - especially the acute observations like the water in a puddle being deeper due to the wind \|\

A beautiful microcosm!

Hi Melanie--
This is exceptional, as Kitehorse says. I think your puddle is deep as the ocean.

Love to you on this fine late winter's day--

I like it, a wonderful little show of natures processes. At first it reminded me of Ecclesiastes 1:7, but then I begin to feel sorry for the loss the cherry tree is suffering.

I can see within my mind's eye, the circles in the puddles as the wind blows ... and the ripples never stop. I enjoyed this!
