The Circle Of Life Poem by Annette Aitken

The Circle Of Life

Rating: 5.0


The Circle Of Life

A boulder's life it would be
when first it fell into the sea
bashed around for years on end
boulder then became extinct

Rediscovered it's now a stone
soft and smooth rough edges gone
feeble though all this may sound
destiny was still not found

Stone evolved into a pebble
grinding like a piece of metal
pebble dissolving into sand
building castles made by man

Circle of life begins again
sand rejoined with fresh cement
turned and twisted once again
a boulders life begins again.
