Becoming

The process of becoming
kills itself.

Flowers of a thousand
lives flow by, melt away.

Beyond the dark
is a voice:

breathless heat
that speaks and sings

That is very beautiful, a kind of dark and spiritual poem, perfectly phrased.

Thanks, Paul. I was advised to put this in couplets. Good advice, I think. Outside of ghazal, I've not used couplets much. Coupling avoidance. Heh. Wonder what causes that...

Is that linked in some way to the poem above, coupling avoidance? You rock,
