Life Lives

The cat on the windowsill
An infant at the breast
The deer in the forest
Grandma in her wheelchair
Life lives where it will 

Enlivening flesh
Captured in matter 

And when cancer consumes
And the car crashes
Or a heart explodes 

Life lives.
No I
No you
No we 

Just Life released
Life unbounded
And All become One

 Paul Marceau
1943-2011
