Vacant Shadows
2008

rain falls in the foliage
gradually making its way to earth
one leaf to another
a muted patter irresonates the canopy
falling, falling
endless
dream of the black jaguar
haunting the shadows;
yet when you look,
there is nothing
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
— Philippians 4:6-7
