#nature – The Zen Poetic

Plugged In

Enable your roots

Soul envelopes the whole tree

Nourish the branches

Deep Beneath The Ground

Sages' of the earth

Mystical experiences

Mycelium speaks

Default Mode

Peaceful scenery

A vista beyond beauty

Harmony restored

Repeat After Me

Fallen from branch to the ground
Tread on
Kicked
Stamped
Forgotten

Disintegrated by the cold rain
Melded
Mashed
Crushed
Squashed

Long gone when months pass by 
I look to spring and forget how you died
Summer comes along again
The death that Autumn brought with it is to blame

This cycle of life and death, this is nature's beautiful game.

Here and Now

Log drifts down river

Disturbed ripples cause alarm

Peaceful intruder

Rites of Passage

Ocean breeze wanders

Scattered leaves blowing away

The road is clear now

Showers of Light

Rocks of burning fire

Destination is unknown 

Skim the skies above

Interchange

Withered petals lie

Autumnal dancers whirlpool 

Entice Winter Queen

Tiger Fang

Razor sharp 
Deadly grip
With these blades
It's edges rip

Slice and tear
Enjoys meat rare
Savouring each bite 
with detail and care

A Tiger's fang 
It's jaw drops
like a bang

The Ivy by the Olive Tree

Unseen nest inside

The Ivy houses secrets

Youngling wings reside
