The circle of life
each season exposes
by death and birth of
deciduous things.

All nature pervades
the issues of life,
brightening our hope
as new life springs.

Life begets life as
days become weeks,
preceding the months
that become years.

Joy and sadness live,
merging as one
amidst the laughter
pervading the tears.

We journey together
evoking spirits,
different persuasions
of minds and hearts.

The pilgrimage ending
dust unto dust,
difference succumbs
to earthly parts.
