lovestop - signs of life

of all the signs
observed, abided, negotiated
- sunrise and birds stirring
- sunsets and flocks returning
- that unintentional touch
accidental, he insisted
chaalak, she smiled
- smiling eyes heralding more smiles
- stagnant stillness of the pond
- fury of waves crashing shore
- a full throttled laughter, comforting
- after sub zero winter new leaves
- quivering hesitant lips
................moonrays cascading through trees
- that light kiss
................symphony of lightening and rain drops
- embrace
................a crescendo by the fire place

of all the signs the stop sign
is the most definitive
come to a full stop, look left
look right, look left, move on
life ends and begins at the stop sign
stopping we die and in dying we live
