Permanence

12/16/11

Few things

have this essence

in world

that's forever changing,

death does,

scars, losing limbs,

body parts,

sometimes broken heart,

or residue

from physical abuse,

as counterpoint

there's love experiences

staying with

giver and receiver,

plus goodness

housed in Soul

like tattoo

carrying Life permanence.
