The Lemon Tree
A fledgling tree,
Roots planted in Mother Earth.
Basking in the shade,
Resplendent in the light.
A harbinger of growth,
Of renewal and hope.

Stream
Rill o’ run,
Droplets of water,
Flowing peacefully.
Boughs of trees,
Reflected with
Miraculous clarity.
A shoal of fish,
On their way,
To somewhere.
Late afternoon sun,
Shining forth,
Benignly.

On Symmetry
Looking in wonder,
At the layered patterning,
Ingrained on a leaf.
The markings,
On a butterfly’s wings,
Are quite different,
Yet similarly symmetric.
No two leaves are the same,
Nor two butterflies the same.
Unity in diversity,
Diversity in unity.
