Renewal
August 3, 2013
Renewal,
it is not 'once and forever' renewed,
it is cyclical,
Neheh .
The cycle comes round and round,
like the sun rises each day,
like the stars rise each night,
a circle of coming-into-being.
The seasons of the soul,
a time for planting,
a time for reaping.
Seeds planted
emerge at dawn of another horizon,
stretch their roots to drink deep
and grow tall.
The biggest tree came from
a tiny seed,
and now its arms span wide,
giving shade and renewing the air.
With each breathe we take,
we are renewed.
JAL, 8-3-13

A "cyclic eternity" of "perpetual renewal"
