Earthly Parts
-- by Bonnie J. Duckworth - Copyright 1999 -- earthquack@email.msn.com

The circle of life
each season exposes
in 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.

Live joy and sadness
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.
