Cycle of Life

















Cluck, cluck, cluck
eggs delivered
life forms within

Tap, tap, tap
wet and small
yolk is gone

Peck, peck, peck
little chicks emerge
springtime begins

Cheep, cheep, cheep
need grit and feed
water to drink

Cluck, cluck, cheep, cheep
Mama and babies
parade all around.

After writing this sublime
poem, earthquakes and tsunamis
wreck havoc in Japan.


Maybe it's time to reconcile
with those you love, pray
for all you're worth and
lend a hand for all those suffering.
