Cycle of life

Paving the way for the new…

As I see the grand lives, now felled!

Salvaging the memories of a life once lived,

the grand picture which once was,

I wonder at the fragility of life!

Their roars once shook the oceans.

They ruled the land they stood on.

They directed the waters they swam in!

I wonder at the fragility of life!

Someone else now makes the oceans shudder.

Someone else now rules the lands and directs the waters.

The stream of time keeps moving on,

I wonder at the fragility of life!

As I celebrate the new

and mourn the old,

I know that this, too, shall pass.

I wonder at the fragility of life!
