Heaven opened up before the steeple. Fragments of grace appear upon the lawn. Shining in the hearts of all the people Who felt the silence when your soul moved on.
sweet amber honey, paint a portrait of your mother. watch it fade away.
gentle abscission self-righteous impermanence - tipping of the scale.
only a moment - stuck in slow-motion descent: the taste of freedom.
a total eclipse as the grass becomes covered; the yearly undress.
hear your voice in the wind as it grazes my cheek seen in the shadows on the walls every day this week felt in the mist as it falls from the sky
