Life is like, watching trees grow
you can never see yourself rise
dancing in the wind at the moment
results bloom when years die

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had been playing with the thought, “Watching trees grow” after I was sitting in contemplation on the river, doing nothing at all. When I realized, I am doing something, even if it is just sitting, or watching trees grow.

on so
a Grasshopper goes
to leap from where it stands
there is no guarantee
where it will be
when it finally lands
it knows not
that death exists
yet jumps to be safe
and rides the wind
to destiny’s whim
in a leap of faith
(I have been very busy lately, but as you see, I never stop seeking zen in life)
a tree limb lay
like thoughts fallen yesterday

have a zen filled day

Life is for Living and taking those moments to watch the Trees Grow…. Lovely post Art and likewise, life often takes us on a journey, but we should always find time to take those breaths which each one is derived from our Trees…..
I hope you have a Peaceful Weekend
