Becoming Familiar
One branch stands out
on the fruiting tree
yet the valley is filled with orchards
in bloom.
What is genius
in time becomes the norm
more through familiarity
than hard work.
But it makes me wonder
who do I emulate
and if even
they can be followed.
For me at least,
the effort is an excuse
for the genuine
becoming familiar.
