Lying Unbroken
The Great Chain of Being
it stretches beyond
both forest and meadow
past silence and song
It lays out behind you
to show where you’ve been
eternal before you
far into the din
The Great Chain of Being
attaches us all
through links of connection
from Winter through Fall
One looming question
forever remains
does the chain lie unbroken
—past future the same
