snow over night -
should I get the shovel or
the camera?
learn from the pine ...
today I learn from
the snow
just one snowflake -
to grow
to dance
to touch your hands
to melt
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
do'nt aks me -
Buddha's hands carry
snow
my life like snow
in Buddha's hands -
right now

I suddenly wonder when they'll invent a shovel with a built-in camera ... hahaha!
Over here, no snow, but our temperature is below zero. As though to even things up, the sun is king in a cloudless sky.

Gabi,
The snow in Buddha's hands is beautiful. We have a Buddha statue in our garden but, alas, it does not gather snow. Your picture is lovely here.

Hello, Gabi san,
I have no problem with line 3 -- it speaks to the transitory aspect of nature and humankind.
I do like the version on your website.

Thanks for taking a look !
I wanted line 3 to be open, so the reader could finish with whatever he or she or it was up to "right now"
and by today of course, the snow is all gone ...
GABI
there is nothing wrong with your poem Gabi.

Ah! The Zen of self-control..!
My hands would be freezing, but I am not enlightened...only seeking
I like your 'ku Gabi....and the resident of your garden

"learn from the pine"..... says it all for me.... putting your ear to nature... your heart to nature.... and let its wisdome come through.... ahhhh.... I'll ponder this for a wood fire or two.... for sure.
