and then some…

Fiery flower in Shelbourn Falls.

and then some…

a flower…
its simplicity astounding

and a flower…
complexity deceiving

life and all…
assuredly worth living

but death…
passively comforting

and a river… 
it flows over
hills and under 

valleys… 

swirls around 

boulders and through 

nothing… 

always changing
eternally cycling

we - the tunnelers that we are -
work to passing 

above --
through -- 

in --

up 

when down and 

out 

when not… 

why…

when we could live simply and die cyclicly 

and like 

quicksilver flow inwardly and
glisten changingly 
and move where 

nature leads us…
