He Died Old

He died old 
looking for poetry 
in everything
and anything
Finding it there 
for a time
But after time 
finding it
only in nothing
and in the end

[He died happy for the sunlight kissed his cheek/ the world reflected in the iris of his love's eye/ emmersed in everything he decomposed/ windborn he rose/ stardust in the sky] Happy Thanks Giving Light & Love
