The Start and Finish
A mama turkey and her brood
Were pecking by the road,
Not far from where I passed a squashed
And bloody mid-leap toad.
It isn’t often that you see
The circle Nature’s made -
The start and finish points of life
So vividly displayed.
Yet hopefully we humans have
More time for in-between,
Though sometimes, like that toad,
We exit early from the scene.
