Cycles & Seasons ©Dawn Minott

Before word: Cycles are to humans what seasons are to nature.

Cycles mirror us
as seasons reflect nature—
birth, growth, and decline
life’s ebb and flow intertwined
echoes of earth’s ancient song


Afterword: Tanka is a Japanese form of five lines with 5, 7, 5, 7, and 7 syllables—31 in all.
