'a' for 'ism'

Below are a few ruminations from earlier this year:

A flower blooms not before its time.

¨ ¨ ¨
Where the leaf falls, the wind will carry.

¨ ¨ ¨
The stone laid is no more prisoner than before.

¨ ¨ ¨

Death is not to be forgiven -
for ever stealing souls,
the wisdom of never more.

Neither can be forgiven -
the life that breathes,
but gives nothing more.
