~beatification
before me, there were trees
rocks and rain
and stars
with the passing of time
I have learned
to tie my days with the red thread
of sunrise
to dip my fingers in spring-cold water
of wisdom
to watch as warm wind visits
my window
outside my pane
a hundred smiles
are born from the strength
of just one vine
this life is
too brief a journey
