bolish the 'rule.

Death you creep , sd silent

Why your face ashamed to show

You've hurt my friend unjustly,
Untimely and silently he died
why must he?
Yell get your way always
Tu the end its the same
But why do you hurt
Those who need not the pain.
Your coldness is selfish
Your claim quickly made
you are nothing but convience
For God's chosen way.

DEATH
PAGE THREE
BORN AGAIN
And when the flowers died
she cried
Along with soft petals
came love.
He comforted her with worth
well - chosen
As only those who know loves'
sorrow & tenderness can.
"The flowers will bloom again
Be our love as this, it shall
bloom many times before
it finally dies."
IF IT DIES
It is a time for drawing dose
as the flowers return to. the
~ earth
from which they came.
Only from that long winter
nourishment will we grow
stronger when our love is
born again!

BIRTHDAY
Trampled seeds
burned down trees,
Cemented walks, •
chopped off locks.
Chilled, red, cheeks,
Mountain peaks - from behind
the smog.
Babies crying,
old men dying,
Women sighing over back-yard
fence.
Water's red,
endless heads,
Auto crash, people smashed.
Lost directions, herd infections,
youth reflections - happiness?
Dead fish,
Empty dish,
Make a wish . . .
it's your birthday!
