Sunrays slashed through hazy fog
searching for the ground to rest.
Deciduous trees mocked their shadows.
The wind led the forest bees and
found ease on a flowerbed.
A beetle makes harmony with hickory leaves.

A tree trunk was forced to find satisfaction
in an area of grass where ants worked:
he’ll be there for a while.

As the day goes on, the sun grows
jealous of the existence underneath it,
she gains attention
by blowing away the clouds
and shouting look here!
becoming a manifestation of

blazing bliss and shining salvation.
One received another chance at life,
breaking from its cocoon,

and off to seek nirvana.
