Crow

You are everywhere I go!

crow head

Some say I am a harbinger of death,

they have little faith –

My beak shows me to be a Generalist –

an opportunist?

I am an Enthusiast, an Adventurer – an Epicure!

&

i see You everywhere!

Circles of Food

Posted on July 29, 2013 by eteal

I am food.

 Mosquitoes eat me during my morning meditations,

mosquito eaters

Yet

there is always salvations!

 Dragonflies dive down,

rescuing my tender flesh;

they breakfast on my tormentors.

Are they my heroes

or am i merely their bait.

Great Blue

Outside my window,

as still as a statue.

Standing zazen?

a meditation in the rain.
