Unexpected Finding

Seeking inspiration,

I poured through books

written by those said to be wise,

but today I found it

in a surprising  burst of affection

for a small ant crossing my path.

Release

Wrapped in night’s silence,

warmed by the light of the moon,

we finally rest,

lulled to sleep by the presence

of softly lit emptiness.

Today’s Trees

 Today’s trees stood silent.

Not even the slightest breeze

disturbed branches or leaves – 

a reminder of the peace

 rooted stillness can bring.
