With You

 If we rebirth, do we also

redeath? Let’s consider that

and what meaning it could bring--

 

and what is either but a mirror and passage

to the other, a sly animated

palindrome on acts of life and time?

 

No matter what, I want

to be born anew with you.

I want to die again and again

with always always you.

To Find Meaning

Sometimes it is enough to search outward

into the light for purpose, meaning and truth.

Sometimes we must stand still in the loving darkness

when the light comes searching for us.
