Explorations: XVI

nurtured and adored
all relationships
circumstantial!

ashes whisper
life's course
incessantly

crumbs of loneliness
scattered on earth
birds and insects feed

peace:
for one, much despised
for other, much desired

treat hurt
with tenderness
lo, it becomes love!

embrace hurt
that it can
never hurt!

tears of joy sorrow
our collective inheritance
on earth

moths kiss light;
taste life once
before death!

Abrupt beginning
Leads to abrupt ending
Time to re-define!

People come and go
Like waves in the sea
Heart, untouched

The sea roared
The wind across waves boomed
Silence redefined!
