Best Circle Of Life Poems

A predator among us.
A villian in our midst.
An entity of evil,
Clouding up our wits.
Preying on the innocent.
Devouring the strong.
A sycophant immortal.
Unbound by right and wrong.
White wool adorning
The curves of their form.
Cloven hooves dragging
on the ground with the worms.
No hoofprints behind them.
just the four toed paws
dotted at the tips
by their long and angry claws.
Nature is a...

A baby was named this past Saturday
At a service that I attended.
On Sunday there was a memorial
To remember a life that has ended.

One weekend’s events, back to back, in fact,
Help remind us we must understand
That however we try, in the blink of an eye,
Life’s trajectory follows as planned.

We’re born and we’re diapered, we’re nurtured and...

Child

parent tryingly.
Step by step learning
everything with new start.
Rejoice and replant. Thoughts
become action and action blooms

blooms action and action become
thoughts. Replant and rejoice.
Start new with everything.
Learning step by step,
tryingly, parent

It seems like just the other day
Our pup, Shadrack, did pass away;
And altho’ they never seemed like friends,
My old cat, Jorg, knew Shad had met
   his untimely end.

He mourned his loss every day
And looked for Shadrack everywhere.
He’d mew and moan as if to say,
“We were friends.  I do care.”

Then one night, an...

When I follow the circle with my eyes
When I trace it gently with my skin
When I caress it with my kiss
When I colour it or create from within
A mandala landscape of life begins
If I delve miles deep to my finer mind
Flashbacks or glimpses from another life
Feelings, connections - bonds entwined
Between one to another over borrowed...

As a baby, love comes in soft and simple ways
A warm bottle, a hug, fresh sheet on which she lays.
The toddler, she matures, begins to fill her days
Walking so she can grab the toys with which she plays.
By five our sweetheart is eager to face school ways
The gerbil in her class never ceased to amaze.
At...

A baby is born, there is so much happiness
A day to rejoice, so much joyfullness
A tear is shed for receiving this blessedness
Thank you lord for a gift of lovelines

There is a day of sorrow and pain
The last breath of a loved one passed on again
A tear is shed falling down like rain
Finding comfort...

A nest full of helpless chicks 
await
A mother osprey in search of 
food
Her eyes trained on a school of 
bait
To take back to her hungry 
brood 

In an instinctive quest for 
survival
She is meticulously dissecting
the ocean
At the nest they await her 
arrival  
In a blind raucous helpless 
commotion 

A large school of plump bunker 
surface 
To avoid bigger fish swimming 
deep
Unaware of...

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...

The fog of dull moist clouds cloistered Earths hills

rolling slowly quietly assured with December’s presence 
uncovering the steal bleakness of chills
the grey fox sought the superlative time stalking
hunting, one catch, the hare eating thorns, is captured
~
All rests except the fox, and the hawk that swoops prey
and beautiful it seems to carolers that dream
pictured on Christmas...

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
By

A baby cries out, a new life is born.
Proud parents see him and know the future.
Oh, how much this child has yet to learn.
He grows, reaching for new horizons, seeing things so new.
And life goes on.

Years pass, as he becomes an adult.
So many memories since an infant.
Good times and...
