between death and life
an abyss of unknowing
present in the gap
between death and life
an abyss of unknowing
present in the gap
unlikely trio
wooden cross and two legs
walking shameful path
unmistakable
rumbling of rolling thunder
early wake-up call
grey skies filled with rain
white-barked birch full of blackbirds
budding joyous notes
liquid pool of light
gathers into center wick
flame breathes oxygen
