Wind blown luring place,

Mystic, Instinct, Valorous,

all hidden behind

grass back of island tortoise.

Bridges wind. Paths split.

Green waters where rains fall up,

ripples cycle life.

Silent predators, no trace in muck.

Cormorant dry wings,

spider tweets a dinner feast.

Heaven. Man. Earth. Gone.

No time left for honored beasts.

Rest. Break. Think. Relax.

Blue heron on the path feeds,

find meditation.

Stepside arbor brings serenity?

Signal not found. Retry.

Slow breeze, distracting heat. Retry.

Signal not found. Retry.

Footsteps. Heron's reproach, wade into shallows.

Climb to satellites.

see the bridge divide our time.

Peace left, across future.

Try as you might, all paths lead back right.

Babes, lovers, mothers,

walk on water up and down.

Wonders under your feet,

watch your step or you may drown.

Egret of white waits.

Fish small and large dance.

No magic karps here.

Mystic profundity. Balance.

Plants on the water.

Honey comb? Lotus in bloom.

Rocks like moving streams?

Vision fixed, perspective seen.

Japanese Garden

Pokemon Go, a no go?

Metamorphosis.
