New Leaves, Heaven Bound
Whatever happened to my yesterday;
it seemed such a short time ago;
time has transformed; becoming today;
springtime has melted the snow.
The landscape of life; constantly changing;
the snowfall; now transformed to rain;
the backdrop on life’s stage; rearranging;
sunrise; then sunset; again and again.
Change is the only thing in life; that’s certain;
nothing can ever remain the same;
death still brings down life’s final cutain;
to allow new life; all over again.
Time ushers in new triumphs and tragedies;
there is nothing new; under the sun;
the unending parade of losses and victories;
all happening since time had begun.
Life will forever have its movers and shakers;
in circumstance; they all must abide;
they’re aptly defined as givers and takers;
and many, just along for the ride;
Death follows life; and then life follows death;
the ebb and flow; an unending cycle;
thinking about reality, can take our last breath;
all of reality is destiny, without rival.
We are but the leaves on the tree of life;
destined to die; and fall on the ground;
once dead; transformed as seeds of strife;
reborn as new leaves, heaven bound;
