Overcome
A Skeleton face down in the mud,
Surrounded by smiles that
sway through the trees,
beauty in death; swinging eternity.
Digestion of all, marrow and blood
laughing, crying, shivers and smiles;
crawling among bones
the insects and their infecting clones
And here comes the flood, a washer machine
An endless love
swishing and swashing, making it clear
sins of all, we hold them dear
Applauding branches and those loud thuds
growing on the bank in golden flower buds
the cawing and crowing, couldn't stamper their fright
of that glowing Phoenix, so gorgeous in flight
