humbly bows low to water
green ripples of peace

autumn has come
visiting my ear on
a pillow of wind

bare tree silhouettes
world iced in dazzling white
winter’s elegance
“Elegance is the correct posture if the writing is to be perfect. It’s the same with life: when all superfluous things have been discarded, we discover simplicity and concentration. The simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be, even though, at first, it may seem uncomfortable.” – Paulo Coelho
