the journey


born of air and mist

blooming flowers signal new

stories and drafts and


bright sun shining through

the closed window of their home

they write of the wind


the leaf falls down as

ancient ruins sit silent

rock telling stories


of death and rebirth

stories rewrote and carried

through to journeys new


again
