Lamented Boom

On a day of merciless winds Moss untamed and overgrown Has now been overturned Used to prop a rhododendron’s pot A final rest for an immortal entity Once again, part of the cycle Returning in a burdened vessel To relive the inevitable When the cardinal has perched On a branch above the heap To the ground, around its base Roaming the exterior where he once observed Receive a message disguised in feathers Displays a natural strut that forms to flight Fragments of utter loss consumes Devours the strains of joy one may find Veins devour the contrast of light With an ominous that dominates ease Flickering like fire against our will We step a trek over this revisited path Foot prints in sand claim connection To the remains that eternally sleep below In a blanket of earth to be reborn
