Palm Leaves

As the palms sway

In a dance of their own

The leaves whisper

In anticipation of stories

Brought by the wind

From faraway lands

To water the nuts

With fulfilling tales

-Okunbo Turner

Autumn Trees

“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape – the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter.
Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.”

-Andrew Wyeth

Evening Mountain

“All the birds have flown up and gone;
 A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.
We never tire of looking at each other – 
Only the mountain and I”.

- Li Po
