Storm to Spring

The storm gathered
a silence that dins
beyond, the dawn rises
plum blossoms awaiting
another spring.

Spectre

Skies near to falling
days fading dark
where China ruled
under a spectre
too many tainted hearts.

Lotus

Clouds upon horizons
the lotus still smiles
where shadows abound
and wondrous petals
unfold all the while.

First Light

Here to awaken
shine at first light
a journey of aeons
destined to greater shores
turning all tides of night.

Hour of Spring

Be it flower or creature
worlds within everything
behold a winter's end
beckoning all to this
hour of spring.
