Stages

Blank
A clean as a
Page in a diary
Long forgotten
Tucked away
In a corner. Gathering.
Dust

Cold
Frozen inside.
like an iceberg
Drifting in the wastelands
Of the antarctic
Glacial
for a million years

Loyal
Forever changing
To meet requirements
That others
Cannot lay claim to
And yet I meet
Every target set

Faith
Believing in the unknown
The spiritual being
That created us all
And still smiling
In the face of adversity
Because I do know

Friendship
Holding on to those
Who show
Themselves to you
Completely
And yet you still do not run
Because they are a reflection
of you

Love
Heart soaked in happiness
Enriched with life
Beats with the rhythm
Of the universe
In sync with
Another who's
Heart beats with yours


Hope
The string that pulls
Us along
To our final destination
Making each step
Along the way
More bearable

Death
Never as final
As one thinks
A beginning into
The wonders of the universe
Birth back into the
Star dust
From where we
Were first breathed life
Into
