Perpetual Life
As nectar drips from the fallen fruit
Its decaying sweetness of the trees
Falls victim to the many who partake of it
The many bugs that feed to the local
Animals that feed, to the human animal
That feeds upon the local animals
For the nectar, the fruit itself, becomes
An eternal part of earth, as life perpetuates
Through cycles and generations
From birth to growth, then death and rebirth
