The Circle of Life

As one goes thru life,it 
seems the road is endless 
but somehow connected.
 We are connected to one
another thru the spheres 
of life like a chain 
reaction,volts of life is 
passed to one-another.
......................................

  There is death-sorrow,a 
birth fills the
 hollow, bringing joy 
which 
in turn attracts sadness 
after passing of time.
  A cry and laugh come 
from same source.
A lightening bolt,thunder 
storm heralds rain which 
descends bringing 
blessing or curse.
The sunshine absorbs the 
pool to the sky.
   Same road brings grief 
and joy like a two-edged 
sword.
   Skin color makes no 
difference,a hybrid 
comes forth from two 
different colors pro 
creating 
life.
  The circle of life an 
indivisible chain holding 
the elements of life 
together!
  For without it,there will 
be a lifeless world.
