Life’s Complete Cycle

A rose petal falls on blades of grass and crumbles beneath the weight of heartbreak. 

A white feather withers and drifts in a tempest of emotion, crushed by fate. 

A tear slides down cheek, floats to the ground, evaporates into nothingness before contact. 

A heart flutters and stalls to the sound of emptiness in time and space. 

A life ascends to omnipotent space, floats through nebula, in limbo for eternal existence. 

A mind sees all the above and grounds disorder in philosophical embrace. 

A thought moves passion forward, past despair, to lighted realms like clouds of cotton. 

A beat opens like rose petals to release ecstasy in reckless abandon. 

A karma transcends trivial destiny to challenge what is said to be for what can be. 

A life completes cycles of emotional journeys to find itself back in the embrace of a mother’s womb.
