cyclicals Charli Wiggill
the cycle of life…
a mundane brown lifeless stem
abruptly new shoots emerge
growing tall and strong
umbrella bud bides its time
springs the catch
bursts bloom as a sign
smiles fragrant greetings at passers-by
is visited and tickled
by many summer well-wishers
colourful façade fades
but beauty is not losta more pressing purpose grows
fruitful maturity borne generously
bowed boughs massed
weighted with self-sacrifice
sweet fruits of the spirit
ambrosia for others
nature’s gift for the heart
seeds rerouted and rooted
fed on warmth of sunshine
nurtured with kind thoughts
saplings strengthen
resolve to get ahead
lessons learned before
leaves twist and turn
define an acrobatic arc
mulch the precious soil
the cycle of love…
