Layers

Life is built in layers: layers of cells layers of learning of garbled words and bruised steps wingless flight layers of temporary players in and out of lives the mania and bliss of it all layers of depression and prayer layers of rings like a tree thick rings of gain thin for loss drought and rain layers of grief and joy forgiveness and acceptance doubt and faith layers of blackness and light layers of waning flesh and vigorous spirit layers of hell and heaven Death rests in layers.
