Do You Think of Life's Cycle?

Yowee so good in how you presented it, and its relevance, I'm glad I got to read.

Um not to change your thought at all, and no offense meant, please know. As I began this, I thought these lines, but just my thoughts OK, Yikes.

Droplets of rain

cling, destined to fall

from long needles

of the tall Pine.

Just sayin sweets, don't dare change yer own thing for me.

It's there, beautiful as you say - that's why I think that Alpha said that it's female. He's referring to a tangent in philosophy and theology that the 'female' accepts things (like a vagina) where as the 'male' doesn't reject things but has a tendency to desire change of sorts (like penetration).

We’re not so particular in what we say:

Woman takes a thousand steps to get her way.

But no matter how quickly she can hurry on,

With just one leap the man will get it done.

-From Goethe’s 'Faust'

They're both the same imo - both take what it is and change it in some way or place it under scrutiny. Judging it to be right or wrong, acceptable or unacceptable. Apparently a female finds the spontaneous reality more acceptable and the male does not? It's a touch silly but has application in classification... Anyway.

I like what Edward Hopper said: “The whole answer is there on the canvas.”

There is so much to remind us of the cycles of life, rebirth, etc. in nature. Liked your opening image a lot.

Yes, Shirley, I do think of it....

for a day

a week

a year

a decade

a lifetime

and I pray I don't take any of it, not

a moment of it

for granted.

I loved the message in your poem.

Thank you for sharing it.

Many times it's like a unicycle with bent and missing spokes.

The tire may be flat also.Nice poem.Thanks

Yes, I think about Life's Circle very often! It is what makes us go on and on and on!

Yes, I do think of the Circle of life!

It brings together the strangest characters! :))

i like the cycle motif

(i've been too foggy lately

to seriously comment)

nice poem each life has its own cycle

Why am I the only one who felt that this was portentous and ominous
