In Transition

Day-29,OctPoWriMo-2015

The trajectory

Of human life runs 
On parallel lines
It cries
When one is born or dies.

There is symmetry

In the whole process

Give life, take life

A never ending

Wheel of existence.

As a seed grows

Into a blooming tree

And degenerate
Into withered leaves.

As the water evaporates

And then precipitates

Bringing solace

To the mankind.

Life is a motion

And we grow

In this cycle

Meeting, parting
Gathering memories,
Hopeful dreamers

Moving as pawns

On a chessboard of time.
