Life

By Brian Rood


Souls drift away in tears
Mourn for those departed
There is pain in death
The embryos sprout
Sending green stalks high
Leaves spreading out from them
Then they die and drift away
Leaving empty voids behind
Where new leaves can begin anew
Death is like a traveling salesman
His foot is always in your door
