finding a new lake . the heron steps carefully . testing the waters
in a lush forest . it is the barren pine tree . that gets the spotlight
there will be a time . after the rainstorm passes . when the sky is calm
as each day begins . the morning glories stand watch . observing the world
the one in the light . being equal to the rest . is the one noticed
sometimes the flower . is the path to something more . not the end result
a small barrier . without an explanation . is often enough
small ripples betray . the serenity portrayed . by the lake’s surface
it wasn’t weakness . the tree wore down over time . the branch had to break
knowing they can fly . pigeons spend most of the day . standing on the ground
