Late Afternoon

Soft, white petals
tumble down the slope
of a gentle breeze.

Birdsong, like
a kite tail, follows
a setting sun.

My thoughts
end the day
on the night ahead.

I was envying your serene and lyrical state of mind--(so unlike mine)--
then I read the previous poem--
Oh, now I get it--yin and yang...!
