What would be your final wish
When death takes your flesh
To watch dawn's Champlain
Or to be with me again?

As a shadow is lost in shadow
As a swallow laments its widow
A spirit so innocent and bright
As it reunites with the light.

What auguries do you divine
Or 'tis a plot of great design?
Leaving me lying in the stars
But life now forever with mars.

Like you always tell
La vie est très belle
Without you I dare not claim.
Never would it be the same.


- James
The beauty of nature is displayed,
not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.
