tadasana

i was gone away over half a year,
a lovely moon in a great void.
today i am back. the clouds seem joyful.
i love this mountain more than before.

cinco de mayo..
everything has a crispness, a clarity to it..
the houses have been freshly painted,
the streets - swabbed and swept..
new windows and doors on all the shoppes..
the green of each tree and shrub..
a mind of their own..
whether it is chartreuse, emerald or jade..
the hawks are still winking at me..
i know this place; it is new ~
