We are huddled together
Back to back
In front of the bush
There is a curious stain in the sky
Crows says Alice
They alway come
When your shut your eyes
A spider crawls up a web
We are careful not to disturb
Its journey
It moves so gently
It seems almost still
There is a taste of salt
In our mouths
A reminder of the seaside rain
Subtle but there
Night falls down
Around us
Like a warm blanket
It is all just energy changing
She says
Moving closer to me
Don't you think
The dead are beautiful tonight
She asks
I think of all the memories
The smells
The taste of frozen kisses
Yes I say
I think the dead are beautiful tonight
As beautiful as the living
And like us all
The one's on the journey to the end.
