awe inspiring





if this alien invasion was more than
vibration and reflection
its manifestation might be
more awe inspiring

genuine smile






street puddle scene mixed
motor oil and snow into
a genuine smile

bird dropped





one rock head
with leaves until a bird
dropped in the eyes

eye shadow





abstraction face seems
decidedly feminine
by eyelid coloured

as empty space





when you see the leaf as empty space
beneath the nose of a subtle face
the eye you find will be your own

eyes alone





eyes alone convey
no apparent emotion
until mouth is found

random encounters





within a stern smile
emotion issues forth from
random encounters

now eye smile





animated leaf
caught a bubble passing by
now eye smile at you

me scene





when suddenly it occurred to me
the face looking back
is merely my own reflection

only a dream





before the leaves fell
the spirit in the river
was only a dream

inkwell insertion





inkwell insertion
who brought the colour
to the other

avocado





for just a taste of
avocado's inside goodness
then go somewhere else

everything and everything





recurring vision is a cosmic collision
of forces divided by balance where
empty is everything and everything is empty

circular leaf





when the circular leaf
became a mouth
the eyes were already there

faceflow





the seam between the stones flows
from one abstract face to another
when you see the smile

only space exists





empty page waiting
for without a character
only space exists

eye wonder





impressed by a rock
under pressure to conform
eye wonder what's seen

cracked a smile





I saw the eye from across the stream
one round black stone surrounded by white
it triggered in my mind a theme
and I went to the place of those simple shapes
and found to my delight
the small black stone had a contour of its own
that added a certain depth
to an already far-seeing eye
so of course it was no surprise
when the rock cracked a smile

leaf smile





considering eyes
are without normal vision
how does the leaf smile

the right chord





set to vibrate
perception responds to sun
striking the right chord

symbol rock





isolated by
surroundings and perception
still symbol rock sits

reflection





upon reflection
landscapes appear to be
worth repeating

self given





self given a face
with elements pre-arranged
empty expression

shed a tear





if sunlight fell where one could tell a rock had shed a tear
would the empathetic pain feel the same as if the stone
could no more weep than hear

inside the I





there is only one
exact angle where the eye
sees inside the I

ripples





ripples
at some point
disappear to abstract

wonder vision





each time the creek breathes
this eye blinks, fills and refills
with wonder vision

beheld





beheld
in the eye of
the beholder

three circles





three circles
and a worm
dangle over the edge

a face seen





a face seen before
familiar like an old friend
is confirmation

covers forever





one mind across two
levels of perception hand
covers forever

shadow never arrives





a shadow never
arrives until you get there
nor does the rock face

tornado





a tornado
descends from
swirled cloud

is the rain timed





is the rain
timed
according to the frame

same eye





where the leaf meets the moss on the stone
it remains to attain the attention of the mind
capable of seeing with that same eye

uncage the angels





trapped behind wire fence
faith based salvation symbols
uncage the angels

moss on rock





left to circular moss
on rock to decide
who will dominate the space

samsara onslaught





laughter dispels pain
when the samsara onslaught
falls to face as rain

mind fills in





arrows direct eyes
but with nothing to point to
mind fills in empty

a log sits





as if to imply
artwork drawn by magic pen
a log sits in place

snow





small white snow pellets
patterned across stone design
filling in empty

minimal





ever seeks empty
this symbol of minimal
appears rather full

all things





as an explanation for
the formation of all things
water would be a good place to start

perception keyhole





perception keyhole
offers visual access
into the empty

face busted





silhouetted by
the play of water and light
nature's face busted

lines mimic





balance dictates shape
yet curved into empty space
lines mimic the thought

naturally drawn





where the two shapes meet
water manufactured fish
naturally drawn

old man winter





temperature falls
old man winter meets water
draws wavering lines
