Memory of a Pond
The shadow of a butterfly
Hovering over the blue mirror
Of a quiet pond,
Will remain for eternity
In your eyes,
The Sun of the Red Rose
This morning
A freshly bloomed red rose
In my little garden
Sang greeting to my eyes.
Fishing the Moon
I am sitting on the edge of a lake,
Fishing the Moon,
With my playful eyes.
The Elegance of Meaning
If sometimes,
With your eyes suddenly filled
With the infinite blue of the sky,
You feel you can touch
The meaning of God’s silence,
Surely you possess the grace of life.
