when the lake is calm . the duck is still paddling . never complacent
not sure what comes next . the cat keeps a wary eye . on human actions
between earth and sky . there is balance, existing . precariously
any furniture . can be called lawn furniture . if that’s where it is
in a sea of red . tulips, it is dangerous . to be different
on a dead end road . is a posted reminder . it goes no farther
to see one flower . requires making the effort . to ignore the rest
living for today . the oak tree still manages . to be majestic
to return later is often times to return after it is gone
with the chance to bloom . a flower does so, fully . no matter how long
