What goes in Must go out Our breath Each in-breath Followed by an out-breath The ocean times Waves washing In and out on the short What goes up Must goes down Our emotions Piques and troughs Our energy Rises and falls Nature has it own rhythms The Sun (while always shining) Shines on half the world at a time Giving us night and day Time for action Time for rest The Moon (reflecting the light of the sun) Waxing and waning From our perspective Influencing nature In varying ways The Seasons Shift and change And alter our environment To give us earthlings (Animals, humans, all creatures) A varying experience of nature Of ourselves We all function within the rhythms of nature Within the rhythms of life We grow We age We die Our final out-breathe Is a transformation And if we could see it differently We would know In our bones That while these bodies Return to the earth Enriching the soil With the elements That these bio-forms are made of Something beyond Carbon, nitrogen and water Is released The soul Which animates Which moves Which seems to disappear Is released from the body Transitioning onward To the next In-breath
