End to Begin

A simple truth too often forgotten,
Nature reminds us time and again.
For there to be any true beginning,
Something must inevitably end.

Seasons fulfil their cycle with beauty,
Despite our opinions and views on their look.
We are not always open to their depth of meaning,
The colours, the bareness or fullness we took

As important, seeing only through mind and eye,
When heart and spirit share a deeper view.
They visualise the ultimate need
To bring to a close in order to renew.

To sense the freshness of this flow of Life,
To be in tune with its movements and ways,
Allows the constant death and rebirth
In all of us to ensure we stay

As young and as innocent as the Dawn of Time,
Dancing to Life's rhythm and chanting its rhyme.
