Journeys start, end,
And then,
A new one begins.
Each builds upon
The one that came before,
Like a snowball rolling down a hill.
Aspen trees
Bud-out in the spring.
Their first leaves
A luminescent green.
Then, summer rolls around
The same leaves mature,
Become darker,
And toughen.
In the Fall
They turn
Brilliantly golden,
Before falling off
And blowing away.
Finally, winter arrives
And cold and snow
Overwhelm
The bare limbs.
But then spring returns,
And it all begins
To happen again.
Life is a journey that keeps repeating.
Just like seasons moving through the trees.
