crow cawed

eyes closed
we listen
koel sings
nodes glisten

all’s well
but then
jarring notes
mar zen

ripples rise
stifling bliss
do nothing
notice this

who within
so stumbled
bend low
we’re humbled

fickle fate
tests resolve 
through struggles 
we evolve

poised presence 
posits peace
seeing thus 
angst decrease

bliss again
we rebound
walking on
holy ground
