As he walked along, he saw a slain dandelion with grey locks
and blew the down of the mower victim that there be fluffy flower flocks

The tree branches God has joined together let no one cleave asunder.
The animal limbs God has joined together let no meatcutter cleave asunder.

Because the wind rustled blooming fruit trees
they released their fresh fragrance into the breeze

April is the most fragile month, when tender jade tenrils can be crushed by unconscious boots. Early years are the child's most

fragile, when vulnerable hearts can be easily broken.

Those depressing stormclouds grey... wand the world to green
*9
The orange tree... a green galaxy studded with starry saffron orbs

Most can from the apple tree pick spies.Only God can pluck blazing stars
from the skies

Like the beloved in a canoe paddled by her love is the willow tree trailing her
lacy fingers in the lake.. wherever she breaks its blue mirror she paints the water sunset gold

comes around, do the plants shiver and shake, quiver and quake?

Some find peace most in the mountains. Some find peace
most at the sea. And some find peace most in the mountains oer the sea.

In the foothills of the Apennines old olive trees with grapes vined ...make
violet orbs of olivine... we think of this in Los Angeles at Olive and Vine

Is God's favorite chapel sunlight dappled trees of apple? Her Ichi Ban shrine..trees of pine?
Her beloved mosque vine covered kiosks? Her best synagogue a cranberry bog?
Her holiest church woods of birch

endless blooms of rose

so slipshod With her flaky head lost in the clouds and her feet in the filthy sod.. But all who loved her encircled her and kept her from the axe and the blade.In the spring with new roots she was shod
and clad in a new jade laceleafslip from God.
