Forest Haiku III


Observing leaves in the forest can be an enlightening experience...

scattered leaves
are thoughts
discarded

green canopy
enveloping
awareness

birds chirping
sunlight rested
on the leaves

language of trees
wind-whispered
a rustling of life

a monk sweeps
the temple floor
falling leaves

crumpled leaf
stiffened with age
and faded

his words fade
into those leaves
fluttering
