~ Cycles of Life… ~ 

☆

I cupped my hands with

the water’s gentle flow,

And tossed the droplets high,

towards the skies’ soft glow

 *

They knew fated course,

to their destined shore,

And back to the river,

they flowed once more

*

I flung the seed grains

towards the heaven’s gate,

Aware of the earth below,

only has their hebetic fate

* 

They fell onto the ground,

with a gentle mild sound,

And in the fertile soil,

their roots grew abound

 *

Man takes to the skies,

with pride and might,

In fleeting glory, his spirit

takes a soaring flight

 *

When will you return,

O’ mortal mankind..?

To the depths of your heart,

where soul and love bind

☆
