What Will We Leave Behind

This morning’s sunrise
Unfolds light into darkness

Winter storm clouds fade away

The birth of spring
Brings on the death of winter
She takes her last breath
Mother Nature gasps for air
God closes her windows
Opening her doors

She renews her last breath
With that of spring

Everything that lives
Has
A cycle

In the cycle of life
Death will surely come
Renewed by life’s
Full circle

The birth of
Spring
The beginning of Mother Natures
First season
God’s majestic colors
Unfold for our eyes to see

Her colors, fragrance is in the air

A baby bird is born
She chirps among the young
A mother cries pains of joy
Laboring birth into a new season
Of joy
This baby will cry

At death we die
At birth we cry
The death of one
The birth of another
Life begins
A new cycle

Spring begins a new cycle
A new breath becomes the sister of our souls
Our souls become
The greatest gift of all
Faith of the one living in us
The mysteries of life unfold within us

The suns rays blanket the earth’s soil
With warmth
The mysteries of nature unfolds

How can one not believe?
There’s a beginning
There’s an ending
What will we leave behind?
Are we just memories for someone else to share?
