Living in open hibernation
with jade-hued trees —
Water features in their lives,
and in mine.
The sky takes
notice - shows a sheen more
glowing than my heart's
golden light in this temple
of stone and glass emptying
of itself.
Soon, clouds follow and
the sacred forest listens
as my temple hums and
glistens, emptying.
~~~
I wrote this for a writing prompt at my other blog, but afterward thought how it fit here as well. I have been remiss in posting at this blog. That may change as I think I need to use it as therapy in emptying my house of yet more "things" that I do not want.

I'm busy emptying, too. While the things I have were useful once, most of them I don't need. Strange, that; very strange.
Blessings and Bear hugs!

"The sky takes notice" and "The forest listens!" WOW! I love the way you let nature be your teacher. I can really identify here. Peel away all the baggage and become one with nature. Nice!
