2 Poems by Neal Ostman

Have Heard, 

people say we are
sun, moon, and stars
mysterious gods. 

Truly,
we are on
different planets. 


Symbiotic

Ensconced under the ancient oak
content with nature.
Wondering about the sounds
one hand clapping - a tree falling in the forest-
the oak replies crisply, with detachment.
