Circle Of Life Poem by Josehf Murchison

Each of all that lives on the earth has a circle in the web of life. Take a common stone for example. The stone forced up from the earth by the tectonic plates creates mountains. The mountains broken down by wind, rain and ice create boulders, rocks, and sand. These tumble down the mountain and into the rivers and valleys to create sand and soil. The sand and soil wash down the river to the ocean. In the ocean the sand and soil become compressed by the great pressures on the ocean floor and return to stone.

How do stones fit in the web of life? The minerals from the stones feed the plants. The plants feed the animals. The animals feed the predators and the eaters of carrion. All live, reproduce, and die. All evacuate or biodegrade into the soil. The soil washes down the river to the ocean to become the stone. Each life interlocked with each other life on earth is dependent on each other.

We live in the circle of life; it starts at conception and carries on throughout our lives. Some people are lucky enough to find love, reproduce and grow old. Others are not so lucky, they do not find love, or lost the one they love. Many others do not live long enough to find love or joy in life. All that lives ends in death and the circle of life is complete.
