Cycles in Nature

Thoughts on Life

i. botany



what begins as a seed

sprouts naturally

if given enough care



when the conditions

are just right,

it begins to grow



the roots in the soil

keep it grounded,

the leaves~ connected



soon it will bloom

and display flowers

that give aroma to life



but next the flowers

will close up and

the plant will wither



then it expels seeds

to continue its role in

the course of nature



ii. biology



new beings are birthed

by the God-mandated

act of procreation



they begin as infants

needing to be nurtured

by those who spawned it



through careful parenting,

the creatures mature

and develop into adults



when brains are at

their full capacity,

they can affect the world



but then old age takes

a toll on their bodies

and they begin to wrinkle



everything that is born

will eventually die

and become earth

its a long but interesting poem... agreed with your plea... love these to stanzas and seem to be the jist of poem

when brains are at
their full capacity,
they can affect the world

but then old age takes
a toll on their bodies
and they begin to wrinkle
