life, fragile life

Could you believe it's just 5 months since those leaves were tiny leavelts..? The end of another lifecycle..

life..
all matter
no matter
how brilliant..
how ebulliant
it's all so fragile..
so fleeting and agile..
flutters into the world..
slowly..delicately unfurled
then..withers..downward age
slowly exits..this grand stage
we call earth...
and returns...to that earth..
it all...comes and goes...
and while.. we're in the throes
of just such a burst of existance..
we'd rather just sit back..and entranced..
observe...
the flowers..
and the leaves..
and sip our tea..

ahh how fragile..we are..
