at least the clouds are
smiling back

they have faces and
souls
and they stare back from their
blue canvas,
down on his *****, snot-smeared face

It’s a warm
sunny day
but the
bottom of the shallow, dry well
is cold and full
of critters

Well, no problem. The sky is so
pretty with all its smiling
faces that he
won’t even cry. He’ll stay there
and look up. Still waiting
for mother to return and
pick him up

Still waiting

Smiling back at the clouds

Still waiting

Shimmer glows in the night sky
Light years away
What's your size
Bright beautiful stellar star
From whence your glow you get

Masses round the clock color planet earth
Mortals back and forth
Light bulb flicker along
You are a star
You can reach the stars
Martian or Mortal

Reach the stars to be no more human
Star to equal another accolade
A mile stone a light year decrypted
On to the next frontier
Another colony in sight

Life is light, Death is heavy
Death is light, Life is heavy
Approach life lightly not
Much caution through life
Life moments draw death closer, heavy emotion if to dwell on.

Death is final, Lifespan is limited
Is there life after death
Is there life in death
Nobody knows
Death ends life provoking heavy emotion to those alive.

Life is for the living
Life is interesting
Death is for the dead
Death is mysterious
Death ends life, Death is final.
