The birds join in

is bubbling with glee,

In this peace,

every mountain,

every hour

For one she knew from birth-

When death came,

she poured ashes into marbled urn,

something,

eternal to the earth.

Feat from the soul sighed,

No matter how far apart,

the universe touches

all starry faces.
