Our Little Zen Corner

Orchids bloom happily
Looking upwards
Toward pregnant clouds
Laden with october rain

Painting excuisite shades
In pastel violets
Around our sweet
Sleeping Buddha


As he rests on a bark
Nixie found on a highway
He seems to be smiling
Contended . . . eyes closed

I am suddenly
Filled with gratitude
For everything around me
Life is good!
