Change

 
Inflorescence onion skins flakes arcs spoonshaped oars
plucked like beautiful gossamer wings but milky... all lily dead and mourned
they love us they love us not count the pros and cons do the rude accounts
a daisy's decision we will have; do we really need a new path?

peace is freedom from desire; comfort, sate arrest a bladder never burst 
expand and grow a mucky pool thick like a sponge in a junkie's drink
this pregnant overflowing sewer : body mind and kitchen sink

symbols disattach decouple from their clasps
even null becomes without — absent language not even drought
chanting begat Babylon while chatting begat strife
the only sacred things there are have nought to do with life

significance with no symbols fades and life it comes to rest
silent stillness no light remain: Pure and peaceful glory
risen hardly we all are sand nothing more than specks of rock
this is our reward, our goal, our asymptotic wall
and this is all we get, all the reward we sought
our trophy is a mirror of the blackness of our heart
our own last chance we plucked... a daisy petal falls
