Notes About The Poem

"Flowers fade and decay through wintry hours-  waiting for rebirth." Quote by - Constance La France

Listen to poem:

Nature's Decay and Rebirth

A faceless clock without numbers
traces past, present, recycled.
Nothing is created; nothing is lost.
It's all transformation.

Fallen leaves cradle new flowers.
As sun rises, sweeps the ground,
lifting up the dying to spring new shoots,
each unfolding rebirth.

The river's flow remakes the land.
Reshaping with unerring hand.
A moving sinuous flow, to and fro,
in endless state of flux.

Nature has no need for numbers.
Not bound by birth, life stage and death.
It's driven to become, improve, evolve,
when the fittest prevail.

Humans, adrift in yearning, trace
each hour that bleeds slow on clock's face.
To reach beyond the birth of their children.
To wrest more from their fate.
