Celebration of a Friend - Minichu

Celebrate life as death;
names iced across cakes with love as carved on gravestone—
covet breadth.

Reap or romance;
same chance to see flames, cheer, lie prone.
Our dance,

on clouds—
candles blown.
Crowds.

Celebrate life as death;
same chance to see flames, cheer, lie prone.
Crowds.

Jaymee, thanks for participating in my contest. a very deep imagery of celebration of death which is an inevitable end to physical form of life but that liberates the soul for another abode. Congratulations for your placement. Wishing you best for New Year and times ahead. Mohan.
