A Cycle

Autumn moves around us as our lives continue. It prepares us for winter. Sometimes it is cold, sometimes warmer. There is sun and cloud; rain and dry. The leaves turn but do not turn back. As it is in the seasons so it is in our lives. Autumn, itself inevitable, prepares us for winter and an end. It is not all sad but there is no turning back and, one day, ice will overcome sunshine and a single life will end. We know though that in the same moment, somehwere in the world, a sun is rising as a new life begins; a new life to make its own way to autumn.....and winter.
