Decision pending

Stands a wise old tree,
for passers by to notice—
waiting at crossroads.

Samesies, but not

So much difference
and yet so much in common—

full moon on a clear sky, as seen through tree branches

Pearl of the ocean,
treating gazers with its grace—
full moon in the sky.

Mildly-trodden path
calls me to a promised land—
to go or stay, awed?
