Sweet on the wind flies song and whisper
rain-heavy skies this night
just like you promised
On well worn paths go the firstborn sinners
who want no absolution
only to breathe in the awakening world
streaming in with mist through an open window
the curtains unfurled like sails
the garden below in bloom
and the half-dreamer standing there
hands on the windowsill
leaning way out

I believe in the human spirit, where it goes and what happens to it after death…. Only then will we find out.
