You are loyal like the sun
You see the leaves
Moonlit ripples
Hungry minnows
Lightning in the distance
Past the green mountains
Growth is where we overlap
Sprout with giggles; fail with intensity
Soaking up the details
A lizard scampering across the path
Bright and tiny yellow wildflowers
A white blanket with red doves
Candles flickering in a watery cave
We are content to sit
In a jade pool
Water rushing over our legs forever
Abandoning petty stresses
Inhaling presence
As we slip into the future
Smart and clueless
With the wisdom of three decades
Sadness passes
Joy lies under the water
We sit
And then move
Toward no destination
At all times
