Birds at the Lotus pond

As we watch the Lotus pond
Birds dart back and forth
Too fast to catch their shape
Even with a watchful eye
So it is with my thoughts
They take me unaware
Birds, picking at my memory
Feeding in the shadows
Beneath the leaves
Of consciousness
I must learn
To feed them nourishing food
On which their fledglings
May grow
