Celebrate

Congratulations,

celebrations

join jingle, singing out for years;

it’s human rites, their marking times

that ring out bells, in spire.


Through breaking waters,

from berth to life,

a partnership with faith maybe,

for some a spouse or lifelong friend,

well-lived to death, expire.


With flags, cake candles,

balloons, bunting,

and puff to flutter, blow afloat,

like magic of a dragon’s breath,

the elements rôle on.


Awake when birth cries

all through the night,

a wake, as drinking for the dead,

and through the pilgrim journey path,

to celebrate, alert.
