Life Living

Wanting
As ripened fruit
                          I awoke

Gradient motion paused

    I existed

Falling toward other beginnings
Choices unbridled
                         I sensed

Warm hands met me
Waiting sounds
                          I heard

Soft urges
Anxious voices
Holding my inborn stillness
                          I traveled

With cries of birth
I decreed my death
Sun did shine
Rains did come
                            I lived

Collecting earth-time
Singing its experience
Clock hands began their hesitation
Slower movement ever cautious
                           I readied

Archives labeled
Necessary filings completed

Mate in support

Intake of my heart
Gave final expansion

                        I departed

Ashes jettisoned with her love
Into the next ever living chapter of

Gradient motion
