Splash ~ Earth Day ~ April 22, 2010

the sun is setting
soon the night
gathers colours
from our sight

heaven above
earth below
one more day
to make amends

who knows
when the last frog
will jump

pond, oh, how beautiful
nature's poison was!

Taking a day off my

Taking a day off my self-imposed exile to post this poem and thought... Hope all will watch this PBS special on Frogs. How fragile our eco-system. How frail the love that binds. ~A Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn't make any sense. --Rumi

What a brilliant last line!

I haven't seen you for too long, Anna Kailashana! I like the idea of the night garnering colors from our sight I give many thanks to you for yet another lovely write! There was an exhibit on frogs at our local museum, it's very disturbing what is happening with them in relationship to the environment... Linked in ink, Jhena
