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

I really like this poem. Would you mind if I posted this on an anti-bullying site, giving you full credit of course?
