themed fancy dress
vampires and death

the day of the dead
to be lived by all

the bloodsucker ball
all in the imagination

sign posts in your wake
you first reached through some effort
- and a whole lifetime of providence
guiding your heart toward love

the coming together in union
the understanding of frailty
all on the road but of course
not all at the same location.

misunderstanding is the most easily understood
all that weight of centuries past and days lived
all adding up to truth and lies and plain *******.

layered down like tree rings
each season recorded in bone and marrow

each moment laid down in the mind
each heartbeat for good or ill

the rivers of blood full of life giving breath
free oxygen suckled from births first gasp

fragmented memory needing healing
love to forgive myself and others

the wholesomeness so needed
to stop destruction poisoning the present

that so the future holds out great promise
a new self born of trial and victory!
