Returning to Earth





 
Sparkles on the porch--
Mix of sun and light on wood;
Morning radiance.




White frost on the lawn--
Blue jay hops and turns his head;
Day has just begun.




Sun plays on the stump,
Bringing out darkness and light;
Sculpting with shadows.



No longer ladder--
Parallel light and dark depths
Revealed by the sun.



A lone blurred sparkle
Hanging from the slender branch:
A drop of the sun.




Covered with lichen,
Broken limb lies on the ground
Returning to earth.



Seemingly liquid
A smooth shiny stretch of road;
Better watch my step!





All of a sudden
Bright sunlight has left the earth--
Cloaked clouds have returned.
