10/7/2025 for Nature's Decay and Rebirth Poetry Contest sponsored by Constance La France
"Flowers fade and decay through wintry hours- waiting for rebirth." Quote by - Constance La France Nature's repeats, and the world turns. What disappears, one day, returns. So, why am I melancholy and sad? I should be feeling glad. Leaves that decay will fertilize the seeds produced when a plant dies. What will Spring's new life recall? That which perished in Fall. Even stars will one day explode leaving darkness where they once glowed. Do they make heavy elements? That true? They make up me and you. A recycled star warms the earth to bring on Spring's joyful rebirth. Can I have a drumroll from the drummer? Peak growth comes in summer. A cycle of growth and decay is Mother Nature's graceful way, but will I fear her poised clock hand, steady? I hope I'll be ready.
