Lilly Pad and Frogs

A tree mast broken
Changes pond to pillow fast ...
The frog is asleep

The lilly pad swims
And toad applauds toad in songs
The moon will rise soon 
 
Water turns to dream
Light kisses the heart  of leaf -
Tadpole becomes groom

Lilly blooms sunlight
Frog calls mate and hug to leaf -
Day weds dawn and moon

A lilly leafed hope
The frog sang and perched in pond -
Silver falls the rain
