bamboo flutes play within

The love of one's country is a natural thing. But why should love stop at the border?" Pablo Casals

dedicated to Boston and all who were affected by the horrific bombings~

bamboo flutes play within
the bamboo grove, among the pine forest
where breezes sometime get caught
in trees' branches- and then the wind

once again sails outside
the lines of the densely thick,
softly yielding pine forest
to places even our imaginations cannot conjure

as the flute music is muted
 by the incoming wind of freshness,
it waits, without being idle-
for there will be a time soon

when the wind will again die down
and the music will continue, as if it never left us
and bring us to our feet with purpose, and we
shall dance with our collective souls as one
