SEED PODS - Womb of nature - A beautiful seed pod
splits open
Revealing the seeds
of future life
as they ripen
Womb of nature
ensuring continuity
Sacrifies itself
to transfer the essence
of its species
Gratefully accept
the facts of survival
Release the joy
that sees change
as constant renewal
TEXTURE OF LIFE - Fabric of interdependence - The texture of life
appears rough or fine
Woven by active threads
through countless time
Inconceivable
Examining the fabric
we begin to see
Myriad forms
existing in harmony
Interdependent
Our own existence
despite the hue and cry
Are but dust notes
against the sky
Insignificant
PADDY SHOOTS -Sprouts of an artist's imagination - Gently nurtured
in fertile mud
With sunshine and rain
a fresh paddy shoot
comes poking up
Nature's working
on a farmer's toil
As tender paddy shoots
eagerly push out
to see the world
Artistic ideas
sprout like young paddy
When conditions are right
thus germinating
the seeds of memory
CORALS - Works of unassuming architects - Tubular skeletons
polyps discard
Amazingly transformed
into beautiful corals
marine works of art
Colourful structures
and unique designs
Spontaneously arise
with no calculation
from intelligent minds
Wonderful creations
one would attribute
To a god he respects
ignoring real works
of small humble architects
WAVES - Ups and downs in life - Forces of nature
stir a peaceful ocean
Creating each wave
that is short-lived
but clearly apparent
Large waves despise not
the small ones
By comparison
as both are water
in real essence
When evil winds subside
both foam and waves
In blissful union
return and abide
with the serene ocean
HARMONY - Balancing the moment - A funny couple
oddly different
Yet in harmony
they co-exist
balancing each moment
Yin-Yang attraction
ignoring their oddities
Sets the stage
for an amazing show
of natural beauties
Treasuring this occasion
of shared destiny
Through the bond af art
our gathering today
becomes a reality
