Ever widening circles of life contained in the circles that grow fading one into the other like the stone skipping across the water, leaving traces of the promises that remain
reminders of the moon waxing, waning but ever present, even in the darkest sky, the blackest night like the tides coming in high receding back again low
amidst seasons repeating, growth new and amazing, fullest in Spring leveling out in heat of Summer
colors vibrant in the arrival of Fall giving way to fields fallow in the cold of Winter beneath icy waters blankets of snow
only for new leaves to awaken new buds to bloom for the circle that is unending to grow once more
there will always be the circle of birth, life and death as there will always be the impediments of destruction by nature’s wrath & beauty
there will always be disease, famine, unwelcome pestilence and epidemics as they seem to impede, dissuade & deter us from moving forward
always there will be the circle of life & everything a part and people will move forward, move past and move through
for when I see the birth of babies, seeds being sown in gardens, fields and when it begins to snow again cottonwood seeds, to be planted where they may, I marvel
at the ever widening circles of life

This poem has a lovely rhythm and powerful imagery Renee, just like the cycles it speaks of.

Thank you, Andrea. I have not written in so long. With things as they have been I could not quite find my stride…as they say. Take care and be well.

You certainly aren’t the only one, but I always think of those times as fallow periods, things are germinating in the darkness.
