Cycles of our lives
are beginnings and ends
history's repetitions
of growth and hibernating
of plenty and scarcity
like day and night
light powers us
as a tree of life

with moon & rains
replicating
moments in our lives
we spread our branches
to catch the winds
and shelter the Earth
for our children

Drawing sap & shedding leaves
signal Earth's cycle
beginning a new pattern
It could be said there
are no ends
but successive beginnings
what will you choose today?

Something is done
in the act of waiting
One listens to wind
learning its name.
One watches rains
following its cycle.
This is being awake

to help the loop of life
of plenty and scarcity
catch the winds
beginning a new pattern
in successive beginnings,
and learning its name.
