SOCIAL LIFE 

One continuous  

Party 

Never ending 

Day or night 

Constellation of 

The sky 

Tells a story 

Floating clouds 

Of different stratus 

Predicts fair weather 

Rain, storms 

Streaks of lightning 

Some hitting  

Ground, people, buildings 

Thunder 

Loud, noise  

Warning 

Let's you know storm 

Advancing 

Sun is motionless 

Guardian of the sky 

Moon circle round 

Spying 

Like a drone 

Lighting the sky 

Partial, full 

All serving  

A purpose 

Reason known 

Unknown 

Just one  

Continuous

Party

WINDCHIMES 

Hanging  

From ceiling 

Of the porch 

Full of 

Lost keys 

Once they 

Had a home 

Lock and unlock 

Doors 

Provided protection 

And safety 

To homes they 

Secured 

People moved 

Locks are 

Changed 

Now 

As a metal  

Of Honor 

There they 

Hang 

As a remembrance 

Of a well thanked 

Service 

ENTRANCE 

Spirit rises 

Transition from  

Three dimensions  

First say goodbye 

To those that 

Are living 

Float around  

Looking for direction 

No maps 

Many paths 

Hit an invisible 

Wall 

Search for a 

Door 

Opened without 

A key 

Climbed steps 

Of clear glass 

Reached the top 

Man standing 

Next to the Pearly Gate 

Enter, said 

St. Peter 

We were waiting 

For you
