crunch goes the dry underbrush
crack go the deadwood sticks underfoot
some small, some big
walking past the meditation hut
the only thing meditating in there these days
are leaves that blew inside
wonder if they light any incense
a candle or two
did I achieve anything
or just pass countless hours
zen rock garden
manicured it
nature has reclaimed it
leaves, sticks, and vines
all over the mini-temple
large tree branch in repose
no mowing no trimming
state park natural look
