Night's end thanks time
and tear of friends' embrace.
The day begins.
Raindrop
slides to tip
of vinemaple leaf,
strains release
of gathering weight
and falls followed
by another.
Veins of water
run together
a lace of life
to adorn growth
or death
the same morning.
Forest and garden glisten
in a rivermist
sitting on the valley.
Golden Ears ripens
in the gradual light
over Mission and Surrey;
Whistler and Garibaldi
