poem of the day October 13

When standing

in the meadow

relaxing with a friend

thinking about meditation

while talking about Zen

Our WA was suddenly interrupted

by a loud  thunderous crash

coming deep from the forest

We listened until it passed

We ran to see what made 

this earth shaking clatter 

Soon we came upon 

the reason for the matter

A huge giant pine had toppled loudly to the ground

proving a tree falling alone in the forest does make a sound
