UPON LEAVING

                                                            


The seasons change, as they always do

But somehow we don't understand

The old fades away like the dust

As we hold a newborns hand


The cycle unbroken throughout time

Of life and death and rebirth

These things we can't comprehend

Yet are as ephemeral as the earth


The night sky covers all that we see

As if up from the basement of time

But the darkness is part of the rhythm as well

Part of life's reason and rhyme




A crimson sky, now turning blue

As the new day takes hold once again

We think of those from long ago

As we hold the newborns hand
