The beginnings of many
The beginnings of none
The start of a lifetime,
The start of your death.
To this we pay homage,
Of this which demands respect
Of all the things in the world
It is this which rules your life.
The circle of life,
The circle of death,
The circle of good times,
The circle of bad.
The wrenchings
The elations
The fears
The dreams
These things
All of these things
The spires of human emotion
The depths of souls
Homing to death
Homing to love
Falling short to life,
Falling short to hate.
The ethereal states of living
A spark of dignity withheld
A bit of knowledge obtained
for which minds are held in strife.
