We go forward and around

In the cycles of the Earth;

The seasons in their sequence

With death that leads to birth.

The planets spinning round the sun,

The moon around our home,

The Cosmos is expanding

Just like the frothing foam.

Like an arrow life can move

From an A to reach a D

But life is also cycles

From B to C to B.

So don’t confuse the arrow’s flight

With how the year goes round.

Discover God in nature

In both the sky and ground.

If the world within our mind

Seems neither black nor white

Trust God within the process

Of day which turns to night,

For we are more than moving parts

Or struggle or desire

And God is ever birthing

New peace within the fire.
