Circled wisdom | Joseph Nichols

Beautiful spirit.
Your monsoon gardens fall from skies.
Providing rice paddies of wonder.
And wisdom peninsulas in open fields.

You blow through reeds in river flats.
Temporal, finite, still.

Your children wade and laugh in ashes of dead.
And ashes wash wisdom on children.
Life’s circle complete.
Lost are found.
