Sadhana Forest

The rules of poetry have changed
I watch a leaf shiver in the breeze
I watch it spin
fall
fade...
The rules of poetry have changed.

Green spider
Unwoven legacy, woven dreams
Children barefoot,
their laughter filling the forest...
The rules of poetry have changed.

I watch branches, twigs
music, infinite rhythms
interconnected lives...
The rules of poetry have changed.

Roots, ripples, croaking frogs
waves upon waves of 
a simple smile...

I watch a pod break
a seed burst
a flower blossom
pumpkins flow in fun...
The rules of poetry have changed
I watch...
