Resilience

moments bleed into
minutes
hours
days...
weeks bleed into
months
years
decades...
life begins as it ends,
alone
but with family,
learning
growing
living
as we slowly die,
returning
to what once was
now no more,
grappling with
why
what
where...
no destiny seen
no future experienced
no reason to 
pursue what is not,
and then...
along comes spring
we bask in the
warmth of light.
