Ouroboros

Ouroboros
again
and again
and again
like budding
like addiction
like nature
like the scorpion and the frog
beginning in
or persisting from
the beginning.
Inextinguishable.

Why does the sun burn with a forever flame,
a nuclear furnace with sole focus?
Because it must, and so it does.
Whether gracing us with a sunbeam
or incinerating our flesh
it is.

To be is the end.
To be Eve.

The cycle of the seasons - this reminds me that spring will come again!

..it must, and so it does.
Believe and it will be. Nicely written, thought provoking and inspirational.
