New Work in Progress

Often I feel really tired and sluggish all day while I do work/chores or anything at all.  Then suddenly at 9pm I feel very energized and awake.  That lasts for a few hours before I fall asleep.  It's during that time that I make my best creative work.  

I thought my latest endeavor seemed disconnected or different from my other work, but whenever I go back and look at my work I realize that it is all very recognizably mine.

The longing of Spring has sunk away

Now

I dream of Winter’s sweet, quiet solace

The cycle, though known, seems unjust

In its movements

As if it could stagnate

And I expected nothing

But I need her changing expressions

To make sense of my body

To compare my mind with Nature

What a joyous difficulty we have

To keep growing without question

To reflect the changing leaves

Like lakes and ponds and seas

To remain

Rising, reaching

Shaping like a tree
