Amaranthine night

Thunder - her only lull'by

Pain soothed by rainfall

Jow Yosef's Still Life

Raindrops woke me up like a child begging to play
Stillness in constant motion, footsteps tapping away

Balsa boat floats with his dreams

Thoughts flutter - swirling gossamer butterfly wings

Whispered supplications yet to be heard

A life lived one breath at a time

His last sigh the gift of a life well-lived

Like a leaf floating on a stream
Searching for home, home, home
Not knowing where the current goes
'til the heavens blush, surrendering to the night
