A Transfer of Life
By Emily Jarrett <lilimarquette@hotmail.com>

Fountains flow
Rivers of life
From the strangest of places
Heaven-dwelling springs
Energy and youth
Eternal life
We drink their souls
We steal their spirits
We float through a pond
On lilypads of thought
Enjoying quantums of luxury
Forgetting the deathbed beneath us
The fountain of life
Comes at great cost
For life can't be created out of nothing
And they die
So that we might drink
And live
They die.
