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.
