From autumn leaf to butterfly
________________________
Here are some haikus that reflect the life-giving Zen philosophy.
.An autumn leaf here gets transformed to butterfly (life to the grounded),
.A pebble in river begins to sing spontaneously (voice to the silent),
.A dewdrop inspired by the sun imparts some light to twilight (tiny when turns enormous).

If dead autumn leaf
Were to breathe a sudden life,
What a butterfly!
A stone in river
When unlocks long-muted heart,
Sings a fluent song.
A drop of dawn’s dew
Inspired by the rising sun,
Adds light to twilight.
