Ocean Breeze            

Ocean breeze

Whether at midnight

Or at noontime

Can be serene, silent, and still

Or rough, roaring, and raging

Either times

No matter the ways

The ocean brings peace to me

Whether I’m standing, sitting, or strolling

As I’m thinking, thoughtlessly meditating, or thoughtfully working

Flower Piano 

Flower piano

Mystic meditation

Among Redwood Grove

In Botanical Garden

Within Golden Gate Park

On this Friday night

On this beautiful night

Warm, cool breeze

In the community of redwoods

Communing with neighbors

Connecting with the ground

With nature

Among GIANT redwood network

Peaceful and serene

Both music and surroundings

Giving gratitude, gassho

Walking the Edge (path between Sunset and Richmond)

Walking along the path

The trail from Zoo to Baths

Where the park’s edge

Meets the beach’s shore

Where the city’s land ends

Meets the national’s water starts

Where wild animals

Meet wild mammals
