Before
my Birth and Beyond my Death
by:
Jennifer Matthews
I am a flowing flower.
I see magic,
my inquisitive fingers reach toward it.
my inquisitive fingers reach toward it.
It is colorful, it feels like fascination.
It dances in my mind like a peacock,
like a gypsy moth ignited by moon.
Soft, like water, I yield to its wonder.
It consumes me. As I enter its current,
I am no longer bones and desiring flesh...
I am part of everything illuminated,
before my birth
and beyond my death.
and beyond my death.
