Naked

I Timothy 6

Birth is at the gate of entrance,
Exit is at the gate of death..

we brought nothing into the garden,
when tenatively we came,
children's voices inviting us to play,
we can take nothing out when we leave,
angels voices drawing us from autumn's ashes.

Nothing out?
We leave with memories,
relationships, personhood,
after a lifetime chasing
wind-blown leaves.
