There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.
From Blossoms

There are days we live
There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.

There is an energy this poem brings. Thank you for the lovely thought. I'll have this one pinned up. :)
P.S.: Sometimes whatever image you are given with a set of words stays in your mind. Such that when you see the same set of words again you think of the white-pink blossoms, and when you look at any white-pink blossoms you think "from joy to joy to joy".
