Life

spark lit by someone flickers flares flashes
flames hearts minds and bodies till ---
doused by the one lit it

Springing from the whole flowing through the whole
fulfills fancies of wholeness ---
fondly flows in the whole

migratory bird taken flight from far
explores unknown asylums ---
flies back tired and homesick

Sometimes wandering down many paths does work as well as slowly choosing one and learning everything from that experience. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
