Light and life dawn
Secretly and without secret
Planted upon the earth with dreams
Taking root it grows into solidarity
Then turns fragile eventually becoming death
But who really wants to live forever
Unless it’s in a memory
Graciously I accept what will be and what is
And what is is nothing more than dirt at odds with the imagined
Always dreaming of something more
In the end we find birth is the same as dying
Joy the same as sadness
Smiling as we drift along the final current of life
No matter what comes, thankful for the experience
