How Softly Falling Petals Kiss the Ground
How softly falling petals kiss the ground
How gently the spring breeze cups the face, kisses it
How patiently snow splays atop a mountain, kissing an entire season away
How sun rays, diffusing through the branches, fall onto the waiting grass, kissing
How the white of blossoms kisses the blue of the sky, making an eternity of transience
How the mountains kiss the horizon, eons of love standing tall
How birdsong touches eardrums, traversing the wind to kiss your ear
How a bee kisses the mouth of a flower, savoring every last drop of sweetness
How sand kisses the soles of feet, undoing itself on touch
How the river kisses a boulder, fiercely crashing against its face, melting all sharpness away
How a pebble kisses a lake, plunging into its depths unhesitatingly
How the sea kisses the shore, again and again and again and again
-naturally
