Nature's Decay and Rebirth

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

Does mute meditation mean death?
Doesn't calmness flow in each breath?
Though seeds in the womb of the earth seem dead
Life-roots around them spread.

Hearing the Time's clarion call
Leaves in autumn wither and fall.
New leaves, as though new generations, sprout.
Amidst an inner drought

The summer sun scorches the blooms.
He doesn't spare the little plumes.
Doesn't the monsoon in his poise arrive?
Don't that seem dead revive?

Winter makes the flora dormant.
Nature puts on a warm garment.
Doesn't the spring wake creatures from their sleep?
Don't the beasts gladly leap?

Birth and death are a course, we know.
It's in a flux. In it we flow.
Till we reach the zenith of existence
With earnest persistence

In nature, life is in a state of flux. Birth and death come in cyclic rotation. If seeds lie dormant in winter, in spring, they will sprout with the promise of regeneration. A beautiful poem, dear Chris.
