a year unyielding
to a painful reckoning 
with mortal marrow —

life elongates when death nears 
the end of a human’s history 
begins ~ the path disappears —

abandon old plans, 
new natures unfold within ~
the year yonder grins.

You can find an animation that pairs with life elongates here on Instagram and a still shot in the Color Chaos Gallery here on WordPress.

Have a beautiful day!
