Held by wonder
as raindrops figure glass
to make an image of beauty
and a fern flourishes
in the crook of a dead tree
showing life in death

Held by something else
a feeling perhaps
but true in that
Something larger than imagination can reach
A person, but not a person
a figure of life through death

Held by love
the known and the unknown.
There forever surrounding
but never inhibiting
always supporting.
The guide through life and death
