LIFE

Change:
Pastels of dusty rose
unfolding in five different directions.

Staying the same:
Bright shades of green
wave in the wind, at the glory of sunshine.

Life:
A flurrying of clear veined wings
float above yellow and black laces,
in crazy loop de loops.

Warmth:
A hovel in humid dirt,
with curled fur around a small ball of life.

Death:
There is music even in the silence
of the body that has passed,
and serenity in the footsteps
where they once went.
