The sun will rise and then will set
The circle of life is no secret
Everything must run its course
Even if you’re not done yet
Leaves will fall with no remorse
Water will flow from its source
Seasons turn and birds will fly
Winds will calm without a force
The echo will eventually die
Becomes empty with no reply
Love and loss go hand in hand
While letting go stands idly by
Drawing circles in the sand
The tide comes in, resets the land
What’s fertile now where flowers grow
Will dry and slip right through your hand
A part of life that we all know
Is love and loss and letting go
Sometimes lessons come too slow
And often the scars will never show

A Mirror Moment
A Mirror Moment I don’t go to the mirror looking for anything. I’m just passing through the bathroom, moving slowly, heavily, the way people move underwater. But something pulls my gaze — not curiosity, not vanity, just a faint instinct, like checking a pulse.
