Andrea Dietrich Poet Tail-rhyme

So Fleeting

Like a circle, day goes to night, night to day, then day to night.
I wonder sometimes if our lives -like days and seasons – might
keep on repeating.

It’s interesting; in some ways I like the idea of
reincarnation and having these endless quests for true love -
heart’s quickened beating.

But what do we know of anything – mere mortals that we be?
All I know for sure is God is out there, and for  you and me -
life is so fleeting.

Aditi Mishra June 10, 2020 at 3:44 PM True words Andrea! I wonder sometimes about reincarnations and life on Earth but in the end one thought keeps me calm that God is there to look out for those in need. Such a beautiful thought. Much love to you :)
