Thoughts and Musings
“I am scattered like red rose petals
gone golden dry
on a mound of dark soil
covering a newly closed grave.
While not on death's doorstep,
I am in death's front yard
leaning against her autumn weeping willow.”
“Hammered into iron and bronze by the wheels of life
Yin and Yang, Kundalini
firing the gold making process
emptying, called a sacrifice,
“I am scattered like red rose petals
gone golden dry
on a mound of dark soil
covering a newly closed grave.
While not on death's doorstep,
I am in death's front yard
leaning against her autumn weeping willow.”
“Hammered into iron and bronze by the wheels of life
Yin and Yang, Kundalini
firing the gold making process
emptying, called a sacrifice, blood
springing forth wet and wild, solid and gold
the heart's heart here now, always.”
