Mushrooms of mornÂing may nevÂer see the night.
Summer cicadas will nevÂer know winÂter solÂstice.
Why accept credÂit when end results are not in sight?
Quail may believe hawks are aberÂraÂtions high in flight.
A cofÂfee makÂer may believe it runs the kitchens.
Why accept flatÂtery for what is not alone accomplished?
We are only one in many conÂtributÂing conÂdiÂtions
to the belÂlowÂing nexus of heavÂen and earth’s creations.
As valÂleys give rise to the mounÂtains,
thusÂly mothÂers will nevÂer perÂish.
Bury yourÂself like roots of heavÂen,
partÂing in tisÂsues of creÂation,
enterÂing the earth that nevÂer fails,
risÂing like mounÂtains that nevÂer fall –
join the aware choreÂogÂraÂphy of comÂpliÂmenÂtaÂry circumstances.
