Life’s Cycles
Life is a cycle.
The Universe teaches us this fact.
Everything is a measure.
an inch, a foot, a meter,
an acre, a knot, a score, a chain
Everything has a shape, an identity
mostly unique,
Each beautiful in its own way,
specific to the eye of its beholder
subject to change
without prior notice,
We all age
some of us with grace
as we gain a little bit of wisdom
along the way.
Life cycles
no matter what we try
no matter what we do
we cannot give up
because we are the only ones who can change
we are the only change
A bite in a crispy apple does not diminish it
It becomes a part of all of us
Leaves change and fall
because the bare tree needs to show off the
complexity of its limbs,
the very ones that become the house,
the love letter,
that pencil that draws the last leaf,
or the orchard of whatever suits your fancy.
Life is a cycle:
360 degrees
of hopes
some unfulfilled dreams perhaps
glorious joys
wonderful views
glimpses of clouds
Enjoy all of it
See yourself in all of it.
All of it is you
it is me
It is us.

Thanks. It seems I have become more aware of this simple fact more and more as I have become a grandmother. I measure everything. Thanks again.
