Plums


Plums

Old tree
 cut down in a stroke of meanness
It thrived
under the earth
Shoots reached slowly
out from the source
stealthily 
seeking a wary spot
growing, unnoticed
after years of solitude
 a new tree 
with many tributaries
into the hands 
of an accepting pruner
then giving it's gifts 
year after year.

Dance of change



Orange 
meets red
                                         one color
 can't outdo the other

SUN
red advances
with her long wavelength
 Orange is nanometers away

CLOUD
spectrum's other side
signals blue green
spitting their calm 
over the fire of 
redorange

dance of change
