(This one is for my friend M. whom I first met in 1994. I wrote several poems for her. Recently she asked me to write one for her. Here it is, more in the then and now.)
A dancing brook
Sang its way
Out of wilderness
And into a lake
Of lotuses.
The river flowed
Majestically
Bringing life
To parched lands
And now floats
Serenely in the
Vast blue ocean
Enjoying ripples,
Waves and storms.
The dance and the majesty
Now mergeInto the magic of existence
