Hoar frost on trees can imitate 
 the snow white blossoms of the spring. 
On this I choose to meditate 
 to clear my mind of everything. 
The whirling thoughts which madly dance  
and try to hold my interest.  
Cannot disturb my quiet trance  
they cease to spin and fall to rest 
My mind is clear as a deep pool  
reflecting nothing but the sky. 
The placid depths are clear and cool. 
I’m only conscious I am I. 
This is my time to simply be 
If only temporarily.
