everpresent

the smell of death
always so near

like smoke of incense
fragrancing everywhere

the taste of love
a well known friend

like rose petal tea
soothing heart

the touch of breath
ever so reassuring

like a drink in the desert
salty-sweet, refreshing

the sound of life
reverberating and buzzing

like lightening and thunder
matching along with time

the sight of laughing face
smiling inside outside

like a wellspring
gushing gleefully
