clouds —
trees bow down
into the pool of their shade
clouds —
green whispers,
“peace here”

where the rain fell
her
faded footprints

on purple thistle
a bumblebee lulled and still

slips heaven sways

no one talks to the stranger
at
the prayer breakfast

wind meandering
through the bamboo groves —
summer
song

summer breeze —
a chirping sparrow

how to capture her beauty
in
a haiku
