spirit

the magnificence
of each solitary breath.
i inhale the world.

soft warmth of friendship.
the knowing without telling.
friends of a feather.

from a small gesture
are born the greatest heroes.
humanity’s soul.

metamorphosis.
the boy’s long walk to manhood.
my life flashing by.

goodbye my lost life.
goodbye to what never was.
life’s rear view mirror.

the sighing of breath.
the long, wet wilting goodbyes.
drawing the curtains.
