Canes bow

Canes bow, to the wind's call sway
Rooted, lithe, in lush luminous array
Touched and moved by wind and light
Leaves shadowed, leaves held bright
Majestic hues held in each leaf seen
Bamboo the towering grace of green.

The Bamboo's Vow

In joyous abandon the silence to greet
The chorus of sound as leaf and wind meet
This season’s winsome array now is heard
The sonorous sway of bamboo, the call of the songbird
Lithe and lush dwellers of my garden green
Holding to the sun’s light dancing shadows seen
Leaves and canes in supple surrender bow
Beauty, strength, gentleness be the bamboo’s vow.
