being born and dying at a cycling rate

What you feel now


You go through the garden, meeting a ton

of flying creatures who zig zag beneath a glass gate

Of these ones who fly, soon there will be none

Passionflowers, filaments in a plait

What you feel now


Souls come here with a grief that creation can stun

An image of hope spreads its wings with a color so great

Here is one
