My forehead just barely touching the dirt below me.

I listened to the soft whispers around me and the sounds of the budding wildlife.

As I lift my head, I gaze into the valley and take a breath.

In the temple, a father sits with his son by a shrine, 

and slips a monk robe over his head. 

this is his first day as a monk, and he is very nervous and intimidated. 

He looks up to the gleaming golden buddha as he notices the smoke rise 

from incense burning from within, 

Away from the harsh sun

, the son is calm and thinks of his ancestors.

I don't know what to write

For their words have forked no lightning,

When then bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,

Death shall have no dominion,

Shan't we grieve for them for now they are free, 

A thousands tears won't bring them back,

Remember them for the lives they lead not for the lives they left.
