becoming one with the sunset. becoming one with the old trees, born in the dirt, made of the wreckage of older trees.
becoming one with the cool breeze of spring. becoming one with the autumn leaves, still on the ground, defiant as they are deaf.
becoming one with the fire. becoming one with the smoke.
changing shape. changing form. musty wood to heat to light to smoke to that burnt smell. dust to fertilizer. shape changing, shape lost, silence gained. nothing gained, nothing lost. conservation of energy.
thoughts of lovers waft away. the mountains. the stars. the occasional clouds and unwelcome rain. being lost.
