2 poems

by Joy Andersen

between the trees

Between the steady trunks of oaks 

Dappled beams 

Through flickering leaves

With twitters

And gentle rustles 

Grass softened by breeze

Will lay a pebble

A smooth one

Natural colours

Topped with petals

A small engraving

A sun

Seven lines

Around a circle

Just the quiet

In his beauty

Is all I’ll need

When you remember me



worship

As mouths of seeds

Whistle to the sky

Mist-whirled wind

Dance each away

Blooms of change

Sing colours themselves

Until far reached 

Like mountains

They stand

And glorify
