EPITAPH

An obscure sky and
The backdrop of a deep blue,
White flock splitting wings
Dark and white;
Interplay of cosmic glory
Against grey earth.

Water, air and grains of
Compassion disperse an epoch
An evocative wonder,
A delight absolute;
For me, for my little heart,
A life for divergent bodies,
Animates and dissipates.
Spring for winter dry,
Sprinkles of little charity
All for murky souls
From above and a little
Deep within.
