Fall Leaves

(poem only-image depicted here is not taken from His Children)
All living things must yield;
the cycle is revealed.
A leaf, once green, turns brown
then, falling to the ground,
dissolves to fertilize
a seedling on the rise.
As rain becomes the dew,
so every end is new.

– Anais Nin
“The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. – Black Elk
