Subject: CYCLES OF LIFE

CYCLES OF LIFE

Where do I go when this earth body
no longer sustains life?
Do I just cease to exist?
When my body is placed in a coffin
and buried beneath the soil,
am I later resurrected
within a god's leisure, time or need?
Do I ascend to some heavenly place
among or beyond the stars if I'm good,
or inherit my worst nightmare if I'm bad?
Who can tell me which is which, anyway?

I gaze from the city for a brief moment,
to look into nature's realm
and suddenly, I understand:
spring gently removes winter's mantle
melting snow into crystal streams,
brown fields change to green meadows;
spring bids farewell to summer's searing sun
and blossoms become ripening fruit
on the edge of meadows and lakes;
autumn brings out her palette of colours
as summer rolls up her pastel greens
and wild flowers end another cycle,
releasing the next generation,
turning their faces earthward in cooling breezes;
autumn blends once more with winter
and leaves gently cover the black earth
to become new soil for new life.

Yes, that is exactly how it is:
life never ends! life is but change
and all, every living thing
just changes shape for a perfect fit
in every new cycle of season in time!
