MUFFLED CADENCE
The sound of shot.
The roar of gun.
Thy will be done
blares the drum.
The sudden shock.
The news farflung.
Thy will be done

The hour of grief.
The darkened sun.
Thy will be done
rolls the drum.
The sound of shot.
The grave begun.
Thy will be done
mourns the drum.

A jade curtain of
willow fronds

A grey curtain

separates turquoise waters
from blue sky
A more slender
veil is
at the portal
hiding the paradise
of the immortal.

Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man's life and work go on after his "death," whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not. There is no such thing as death according to our view!

For what is it to die, But to stand in the sun and melt into the wind?

My life is light, waiting for the death wind, Like a feather on the back of my hand.
