Seeds

A circle with no beginnings, no endings
A birth, a death, a birth again
For every ending, a beginning he sends
To continue the journey of the circle

Birth is blessed in the spring of life
It grows through out the year
In the autumn amongst its strife
Its seeds become scattered about

A seed of joy or a seed of birth
A seed of knowledge or of hope
A memory left upon the earth
Because the circle’s seeds survive

The seeds are covered by autumn’s leaves
As a death waits in the winter days
The seeds of life do deeply grieve
As the circle begins to drift and fade

Through the grieving the seeds do grow
As the warmth of spring grows near
The blossoms of life begin to show
From the circle’s seeds left long ago

The seeds have grown into their own
A new circle, a new journey begun
When the autumn comes is never known
Nor will be the time of winter’s death

As each circles journey is complete
It joins those that went before
He waits with open arms to greet
And show how for each life goes on
