A photograph from the Roswell Greenway Trail in Roswell, Georgia, north of Atlanta.
In Winter,
   when blue sky shows
 between the twiggy,
   bare branches,
 the forest is not so
   claustrophobic,
   but sound and wind,
       alike,
   carry through.

A mind can roam
   between the bracing
      breezes.

little green sprouts,
 the only verdant hue:
  barren Winter woods.

Photograph of a Great Blue Heron crossing a pond along the Roswell Greenway Trail in Roswell, Georgia. 
Skittish is the Great Blue Heron.
   It feels when you're stopped and starin'
 and will crisscross water like Charon
   to keep you on the other side.

A photograph of gardens in the Daereungwon Tomb Complex in Gyeongju, South Korea.
Even in the 
 pristine palace garden,
  gardeners refuse
 to chase one stray, wind-blown leaf
  that tumblers over pavers.

Does the bug
   atop a wildflower
 think itself master
   of all it surveys?
