Observation

(July 15, 2010)  The quiet forest is just fine
thank you

Sun shines on bird

His twinkly tune
Telling of time

A shining, crystal,
           wakeup morning
           song

New York
Bangkok
Paris
Kathmandu

These cannot grow as green
           green as this grand canopy
           of needle

Generous as sunlight
Big as this bright ocean
           salty sand
           and ancient air

Hear the Humboldt wind
           wind soft
