The 26th Day of February of the year 2013.

With a handshake in thought and my verse, I welcome you to my corner of cyberspace.  Pause and consider.

The Death of Sequoia Jeune

The sky was as alive as an everglade orchid,
bursting and blending in many shades of blue, pink, orange and red.
The last leaf in the wind, shaken and dead,
falls and then fades into the dark shadows of melanic, omniscient mountains.
Inside a young girl a heart beat slows, because her soul is as stone and she is stone faced,
a tear of frankincense freezes to her cheek.

Nature became at once a sanctuary and a grave.
