As do trees, we release our seeds, good ideas, deeds and love – push them from great heights and allow them to fly – they will find their way to fertile soil in fertile time – some may find rivers to the open seas, ride the currents to distant shores

thank your stars for dying

gifting you breath

praise your soul's denying

fear of eternal death

your heart in orbit now

locked around your soul

mind expands in space adrift

leaving behind body in a shriveling sun
