darkening sky ...
the snake curves 
into my path

—Kala Ramesh

    very thought provoking piece kala.. the obstacles on any path are only as large as we perceive them to be. thank you .


    clearing
    a path to the mailbox...
    winter moonlight


    river walk
    the depth of the water
    between the stepping stones

    darkening sky
    cry of a mom
    for child

    On the way home
    suddenly a black cat
    crosses my path

    darkening skies
    before twilight, falls
    a gentle rain

    morning breeze
    the curve of an egret's shadow

    high mountain meadow---
    a snake curls around
    the sound of its hiss

    I am looking out of the window and seeing a darkening sky, I know exactly what you mean. Beautiful poetry.
