Around and Around

Around and around,

The circle stays intact.

The water flows

Over the stones.

The eagle soars in the sky.

Circling around and

Around.

 

The tree of life

Is still.

It's branches fall off

One by one.

As the old tree dies,

A small seed falls.

A new tree grows

Out of the old,

Stronger,straighter, more

Solid.

 

Part of the old

Is the new.

Part of the new

Is the old.

Over and over,

The circle stays intact.
