28 Mar Happy with oneself
Posted at 21:56h
in Poetic Zen
A fearful time, yet also an opportunity to find happiness and stillness within. Sitting here in self- quarantine as our city shuts down, the pear tree outside my window reminds me that still they flower, and still they give beauty, though none may see them. Though I can not join the blossoms in their carefree ways, still I can smile them and toast them with tea.
Flutteringly,
Floating in the breeze,
a single butterfly
