Jukai
You can find me
Somewhere in a sea of trees
Leaves blowing,flowing throughout the breeze.
A Little blue birdie lands lightly beside me,
He asks,
“Why did you decide to visit on this somber day?”
My answer to him is:
I want to ascend beautifully into a blossom tree
Fluorescent colors of white and pink
Open space and time to think.
You can find me
In a river
Melting away
like a sheet of paper.
I am new
Soon a big red bird soars above me.
He screeches a warning that wakes the bees
“This is no place for a flower to be.”
I believe the sea of trees could consume me,
Pull me into a dark slumber deep beneath the earth
Into the gritty dirt.
“Leave,”
“Be free,”he said.
So you can find me now
Ascending away from the sea of trees.
