s p i r i t . v a l l e y


when the sun floods into the valley and above
blades of grass blaze like red hot swords
dust in front sparkles at times like fireflies
the aura around the trees wash them layer by layer
spaced out between the rising sun and valley’s edge
trees stand out like pillars of fire along the ridge
space far away glows outside the depth of field
forms show up as color blobs with blurry contours
move in and out of focus, intersect and reconstruct
the colors move up and down, slow and smoky
and the adjoined edges become curvy and cozy
all fuse into one complete whole and slowly dissolve
morning passes soon to the mundane of the noon.

______________________________________________
all the death and destruction humans bring on themselves
prove 'loving compassion' remains as the most relevant value
which is still the answer to reduce human suffering.

"certain pain is inevitable in life, but suffering is optional"
