The breath of a twig

of creepers, the earth crawlers

a traveller’s treats

Little things

Müeller Park, Ausin, Texas

Trivial for some

wayside, unworthy of note

the world for someone

Lessons for life

University of Texas in Austin
University of Texas in Austin

Branching yet sturdy

self-conscious studiousness

confidence rooted

Yearning

Greener are grasses

promises of other side

seems reality

Contemplate

Poetess, Umlauf Sculpture Garden, Austin, Texas

Silent, unspeaking

creating, destroying worlds

with power of words

a woman, the poetess

in mindful rumination
