Giving Back

Growing old, like quartz and diamonds, the human being occludes. The trials of life, leave cracks in the soul; grind the body back to dust. All life recycles, in life after life; we all give back.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. At least we do not rust! (sorry, just had to do that silly rhyme). Very well done sijo.

This we do, and whilst being here, one has to make the most of it as I intend to do, and eventually I'll give myself back. Love these words of yours M.L.K. - James :)
