Haiku Triad
Monitoring self,
nature made her decisions:
disaster rained down…
The water rose—
Life sank beneath the level;
hope floated above…
Like Noah, we wait…
flooding water standing still—
Vultures roost on wires.

crickets' chorus fills the night~

nature's symphony soars high~
summer's dance unfolds

The Balancing Act
what forms shapes of thought
that understanding exists
between opposites
contradictories
languages and their meanings
negated and cleared
that understanding
exists between opposite
forms and shapes of thought

Was about to fall.
