When your reflection

screams at you with raw fury,

something has to change.

Sometimes You'll Get It Wrong

When pulling out weeds,

some seedlings get trampled too.

Still, the garden grows.

Can't Do It All

When winter holds sway,

even the mighty oak slows -

waiting for spring growth.

They Need The Space

The acorn that falls

close to the giant oak tree,

grows not a giant.

Are You Really Helping?

Lifting his child's burden.

Water withheld from parched Earth.

So the cloud lets go.
