Endless Cycle
The signal has sounded
A life is relinquished
The weight of longevity
A light extinguished
What was the beginning
is now the end
but what was once old
becomes new again
The cycle of life
for some is finite
and for others it is
a chance to reunite
Cultures do vary
and many will reincarnate
into whom Karma
has deemed appropriate
A life lived respectful of all
Humans and animals equally
One never knows who they’ll be
Anyone or anything conceivably
For others the end is the finish
Nothing left but the black
Life has been lived
There is no going back
None of us know
Until we are finally there
Tomorrow is another day
Hopefully we wll be somewhere
