a group of feathery beings enjoy the sunset together
a lone cormorant gazes out upon a vast blue universe of water and sky

v. Are You New, Or Old?

Are you new,
my beloved,
or old?

I am always new,
and I make you
to be like me.

Does your mirror
tell you differently?
Is it telling
the truth? ›

Are your friends
telling you differently?
Are they really
your friends?

I give you
new experience
every day —
are you taking hold?

I surround you
with all the glories
of my nature —
are you noticing?

The grass I give you
for your delight
turns green
with radiant joy
every Spring —
does your heart also?

My winged children
soar
and dart
and play
in sheer happiness —
are my little ones
with winged thoughts
equally overflowing
with delight?
