One Final Sublime Moment

The trees stare uncomfortably at their reflection in the pond Turned fire by the setting sun. Murmuring, moaning, mourning, Longing to regain their fallen leaves. In their wombs held high away from harm call hatchling crows,  Mouths held wide in a dirty smile, Wishing, wanting, waiting, For their mothers tireless approach. Behind them columns of smoke rise like spirits reaching for heaven, Their remains resembling rivers Fluid, flying, finding Comfort in the countless clouds.  Around them people dance holding hands, healing the hate That has wounded our world. Smiling, singing, saying This is how it always should have been. Here I hope to hang about, dwindling my last days away Until they carry my body Careless, calm, contented, Into the arms of eternity.
