Regeneration

REGENERATION

Trees lose leaves then get new leaves
Flowers fade and come back in spring
The ocean evaporates and changes 
To steam but then returns as rain
The rocks themselves  are worn down 
But reappear  as sand and other rock
It’s sensible, logical, natural.

Is  it so with us?  Do we fade 
And reappear as something else?
No one ever seems to know the answer
But it seems very likely  for
It would be unnatural if it were not so.
