Between Earth and Sky
his seasons' pass, new reflections appear on time's still water
as another ripple crosses carrying another leaf that fell
in this silence, he contemplates the truth of life passing
watching the ripples moving the leaf to its farewell
revealing what lays between Earth and sky is understanding
that he's mere blood and bones wrapped in skin filled with thoughts
searching for reasons that may or may not exist to questions asked
only to find his inevitability is where his thoughts and journey end
