The arrangement’s born <br />growing in the heart <br />growing in the mind <br />growing outside <br />and you say bonsai grows <br />through the nature of things <br />each branch a path in the right direction <br />for the shaper and the shaped. <br /> <br />You say, small things <br />reveal the nature of all things, <br />and bonsai roots in the heart, trees <br />in the mind, and thoughts <br />are leaves in the sun. <br />And I say, you have given it to me, <br />this tension of amazement, <br />how arrangement moves between <br />creating. <br /> <br /> <br />(For Tomoko)<br /><br />Gene van Troyer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-arrangement-2/
