Life 2

Seasons turn with the winding earth,
our need for order dividing
one from another, the same round,
just as all things grow from their birth,
upward with spring’s bright rush riding,
till summer’s fulfillment is found.

And so into autumn’s harvest,
like fruit from the branch we tumble,
still warm from the westering sun,
as earth turns now to its darkest,
agèd and frail we must stumble,
with ancestral dust become one.
