What arises
Will die
And arise
Again

This
Is
The experience of living

The sky
Is magnificent this morning
Dramatic

People stop still
Dazzled by the glow
And take photographs
Driven by the need to remember
To share
To defeat transience
And death

If it can be captured
It can be kept
And we
Will survive
Another day

What arises
Will die
And arise
Again

Parallel lines of
Oranges
Blues
Pinks
Greys
Decorate swathes of puffed cloud

From my window
I watch the craning heads of long grasses
Bowing to the sunrise
Its dazzling palette radiates
Still more fiercely

This unforgettable scene
Presents itself
On a forgettable day

All
A reflection of life
Continuing
Graciously
